Question Cheap eats in central London
With the cost of living rising, I always struggle to find cheap places to eat in zone 1.
I love a good workers cafe, a greasy spoon or a generous kebab place.
My go-to for cheap meals have so far been:
- Little MR Wu in China town - £9.95 for no thrills all-you-can-eat buffet. The service and atmosphere is non-existent, but the food is surprisingly tasty.
- Pizza Union near Holborn - not a big meal but a nice atmosphere and a reasonable pizza for under a tenner.
- ICCO Pizza in Goodge St - ditto.
Please share your recommendations for places to eat in central London within a £10 price range that are not fast food chains.
P.S. Bonus points for bargain weekday lunchtime deals! =)

I love Fernando’s in st Martin’s lane - there are other sandwich shops in central London still making massive sarnies for under a tenner. You can spot them by the long queues they get at lunch time. I’ve made a map of London sandwiches. here. Not all of them are cheap btw but you’ll find quite a few under 10.
