You can certainly get poor food in the West End. The down market
food places are still not good enough, but in the West End why
are all the tourists buying it? Go to the restaurant area where
people like me eat (100 metres away) around Charlotte Street and
take some photos there!

Fatness isn't a particularly UK feature :-)

I have walked past those a couple of times, hadn't realised they
were not prawns. In the market proper there is plenty of quality
food, but you didn't photo that? There's also an (overpriced)
French style restaurant 100 metres away and at least a couple of
pubs with perfectly reasonable food. The Yacht, The Trafalgar or
The Greenwich Union (I have not tried the Union, but its supposed
to be good, sourcing its food from the specialist food outlets in
the immediate area.
