From TripAdvisor Eating in London -- low cost and real experience:
Cafe at the British Museum
NOT the fancy, overpriced tea upstairs, just the cheaper sandwiches-and-tea cafe on the main floor rear. Not as cheap as in the States but passably priced, you can see the Rosetta Stone and have a light lunch or spot of tea at the same time, and at the large communal cafeteria tables you will meet locals, US tourists, students, and virtually everyone else imaginable -- and almost everyone willing to have a chat. You'll remember having tea at the British Museum, and you'll remember really meeting people on your trip, not just looking at things.
