The proportion of Londoners who say food is “unaffordable” has doubled since last summer, a window into the cost of living crisis gripping the capital. Nearly a quarter said buying enough to eat is a problem, according to a survey carried out by Savanta for the Centre for London. One in 10 of those polled had visited a food bank for at least some of their groceries in the past month.
