SURVIVAL KIT How much money do I have to change? (Euro-Pound Sterling equivalence): 1 British Pound Sterling are 1,17294 Euros, but...What does is it mean? It means that if you want to change: 200€ = 170.51GBP 250€ = 213.14GBP 300€ = 255.76GBP
This are some examples but how much money depends of your tastes, preferences, hotel days that you are going to stay in UK, etc...
What supermarkets are there around the hotel? What can I buy there to survive? Near the hostel there is a superparket called Waitrose where we can find all whatever we want like groseries, entertaining items, cellars, flower and garden products, pet items, gifts and kitchen items. It is situated inside a shopping center called The Brunswick. We can find this place going on foot during 3 minutes. It is 0.2 miles further than the hostel. Webpage's link.
Also, near the hostel, there is other supermarket called Sainsbury's Local where we can find a lot of groceries, clothes, all about mobile phones and house items like furnitures, lighting or home accesories; and we can do bank movements. It is situated in the Euston Station, Kings Cross, London. We can find this place going on foot during 12 minutes. It is 0.6 miles further than the hostel. Webpage's link.
And the last supermarket that is near the hostel is called M&S Euston Rail Simply Food. In this one we can find lots of clothes, makeup, home items like furniture or home accesories, lot of food and wine, flowers, gifts products and, as in Sainsbury's Local, you can do bank movements. It's situated very near of Sainsbury's Local, there are only less than 150 meters of distance. It is open from 7.00 am to 23.00 pm except Sundays (8:00 am – 22:30 pm) Webpage's link.
If we want to buy to survive we have to buy only cheap food and drink because the rest of the things are “whims” and we don't have money to buy that.
Are there any pharmacies or chemists around? Yes, the nearest chemist is called Boots and it is 0.5 miles away, so we could go on foot walking during 12 minutes. It's address is 2, St Pancras International, Euston Rd, Kings Cross, London; and there you can find health and pharmacy products, beauty and skincare products, fragances, baby and child products, etc... Even they sell printed photos! Webpage's link.
