Fish & Chips at the Marriott near Buckingham Palace was $45 in February, 2020. UK is twice the size of Colorado with way over 60 million people. The whole country has been fueled by Mid East & Russian oil money. It has gotten way more expensive than it was in the 1960's through 1980's. Taxes are unbelievable. Almost 20% live below the poverty line. Guns are basically banned. When I was a teen, I had a shotgun. My uncle had a house that was built in 1060. It used to be way laid back and conservative. Things are tense there now and the police I saw in London were carrying MP5's. I still love it there.
