After living in England for two years, may I offer some suggestions?

Eat at pubs, chippies, and/or Wimpy bars.  (wimpy = cheap burger joint).
This REALLY cuts down on cost.  Fish and chips with malt vinegar....yum!
Pub food is also quite excellent, and usually cheaper the further you get
from London.

Also, I would humbly suggest a vist to my second home town of Arundel,
West Sussex.  A one hour drive almost due south from London.  It boasts
a magnificent restoration of a castle from pre-1066, including many relics
of the realm not found elsewhere.  It also has a gorgeous cathedral, a nifty
wildlife preserve (ask for Terrance and his swans), a fabulous pub with
great food (the Red Lion on High Street), Belinda's Tea Room, famous for
high teas, too many antique shops, and a fun place to stay, the Arundel 
House on High Street.  costs about 17 pounds per night and comes complete
with Charles, the inkeeper who'll tell you all the gossip, and cook you
a fantastic English Breakfast.

Gee, now you've gone and made me homesick!

p.s.  DO NOT, under any circumstances, say "Have a nice day" to ANYONE
      over there.  They will all burst out laughing.  If they say it to
      you (and the "they" isn't American) take it as an insult.
