I would say a bottle of Budweiser is around £4 in London, so that would be around $6, and a Meal for 2 in a nice restraunt would be around £80, so thats about $120. Tax in the UK is 20%, and it is already added to the product, so what is on the tag is what you pay at the till, not as in the States when it is added later, also in the UK we don't tip, unless the service is out of this world!
Hope this helps.
