[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends what you want to eat.  $10-$15 for breakfast, $15-$20 for lunch, and $20-$30 for dinner are all fair, but, you could certainly spend more.  I'm happy with a sandwich and chips from Pret a Manger for lunch, but you might not be.  DD and I just had dinner (pasta dish and water) for less than 20 GBP total.  Lunch that day, though, (drinks and pasta dish) was 30 GBP.

I'd figure out the percentage difference between the government per diem rates for your city and London and then apply that to your companies per diem rate to get your company London rate.

$45-$65 for one person is doable., but you could eat much better if you want.  Keep in mind that many people in the government do not spend their entire per diem, they instead pocket the difference.  [/quote]

Those prices are about what we were spending for lunch and dinner, although we were staying in an apartment so we bought cereal and fruit for breakfast. I found lunches to be the most expensive, around $20 a person for food that was good, hot, but not anything exceptional. We had some nice dinners that weren't crazy expensive but were closer to $30 a person including a drink. I was there with my 9 year old so she wasn't eating as much as an adult and I also wasn't spending money on alcohol (it was just the two of us). [/quote]
