Temporary Londonfag here from America- Shit here is generally as expensive as a big American city, but it's twice as expensive due to the exchange rate.
Example- I bought a .5L pepsi today from an indidan guy in an off license for 99p. I paid 8.75 for a sit down dinner near Brick Lane, and I paid about 3.50 for a grande mocha from Starbucks. McD's is a bit more expensive, think around 5 dollars for a meal, although the cheeseburgers are 89p. If you want "snacks," your best bets are to buy them from supermarkets, Tesco being the cheapest but also the lowest in quality. Marks and Spencer has AMAZING prepared food, but it's on the pricey side. If you're looking to picnic in Hyde Park or summat, splurge and go with Marks and Sparks for a nice day out. Other than that, stick with Tesco, or Sainsburys, which is kind of the middle of the road (They have good sandwhiches, esp. the baguette ones in the fridge)
As with any place, you can find great food for cheap (I know a great baguette shop off of Victoria that makes 1.50 sandwhiches) but you're going to have to hunt for them.
Have fun!
