Above all, my wallet is the thing that's feeling most damaged. Eating in London is expensive for tourists. Five days of non-extravagant dining in the West End and we spent a grand total of £200.27.

I was surprised that there was also so little fresh fruit and vegetables on the menu. We're a country that grows an impressive amount of fruit and vegetables – where was all the colour? I know people don't go out for dinner in search of broccoli and carrots, but is batter really the thing we're saying we do best?

If you're looking for more affordable, and varied food week in Central London, try:

Monday: Pizza by the slice at Homeslice (£4 a slice)

Tuesday: Ramen at Tonkotsu (£10 a bowl)

Wednesday: Burgers at Patty and Bun (£7.50 for a burger)

Thursday: Bento Boxes at Taro (£6.50 a box)

Friday: Hirata buns at Beer & Buns (£7 for two buns)
