The number of Londoners who say food is unaffordable has doubled since last summer as the capital’s cost of living crisis tightens its grip.

Across the capital 23 per cent said food bills are either “unaffordable” or “very unaffordable”, compared with just 12 per cent when they were last asked the question in June, according to new survey results.
