You mean why is the dollar tanking? Spectacular and obviously-frivolous deficit spending causes devaluation. Buy dollar futures if you think the Republicans will lose the next presidential election.
Why is a burger lunch a hundred bucks and a bottle of water $5? Because for some reason, every time you come to London you stay in SW3 - Kensington and Knightsbridge - the most expensive place you can possibly pick in a city that's not the cheapest to begin with.
Feel free to ask for better London suggestions next time :) Try Hoxton, maybe. There's several hotels to choose from around the City Road/Shoreditch High Street area, it's where almost all London's tech companies live and the local shop prices don't have a "tourist tax" of 100-200%. Plus it's walking distance to Brick Lane.
