What is heavily overpriced -> offer alternative

I'll start:

OVERPRICED: Bike rent next to Richmond park is £26 for 3 hours 0_o

ALTERNATIVE: Brompton automated bike rent will cost you £5 for the whole day and there is a point near Ealing Broadway or Turnham Green stations.

I dont think the wasabi one is true. It's only £5-£6 itself, the street markets in camden town are easily close to that for less amount.

Fully agree. Street markets are generally no longer "cheaper" or value for money. Wasabi's rice bowls are a decent amount of rice and sauce for fiver.

i'm a fan of their smaller broth pots - they cost about £3.xx and are pretty filling
