    It looks like the hotel is on North End Road with all the cheap shops & eateries you might need as you go south towards Fulham Broadway

    just looked at my confirmation, and the hotel is in Barkston Gardens, London

    Take a bottle of water each in with you to Les Mis as drinks at the theatre are very expensive and it does get hot. I actually saw a couple with small bottles of wine and plastic glasses (as they don't allow glasses).

    There are Wetherspoons pubs near the theatre for cheaper meals and drinks. Wetherspoons also do cheap breakfasts. They often do deals meal nd drink if you eat between 2- 5pm

    Also have a look at the site deals.

    I adore Boots lunch meal which you can buy anytime.
    A 3 part sandwich, a fresh juice and fruits for dessert for less than 4 pounds.
    I read that now they are 2 fo 5 pounds.
    If you have tesco points you can claim vouchers for Pizza express.
