Air fare depends on where you are in the world. At the time of posting, Air Canada offers flights to London, England from Toronto Canada for roughly 1097 dollars, and United Air does the same for 987 dollars (round trip, economy class). These are October rates as of time of posting, and all prices are in Canadian dollars
As for afternoon tea, there exists a website who shows the best (and I mean the very best) places in London to go for afternoon tea. It's quite expensive, though, as most places average £35 (roughly 57 Canadian dollars) per person, but I imagine the experience will be awesome.

To Londoners On This Board: How much money do I need?
Here is a question for people who actually live in London, and know about the daily spending needs:
How many English Pounds would a tourist need to bring for, say, a one-week stay in London that covers lunch-and-dinner, public transportation, and the odd souvenier and snack? And one ride on the London Eye Ferris Wheel, of course.

I'm not a citizen of London, but I can answer this one One standard ticket (adult fare) is £17.01 (roughly 27.30 USD, 26.70 CAD, 21.12 EUR or 2142 JPY at the time of writing). Night admission is the same, and other tickets are more expensive (for instance, "Fast Track" tickets for adults begin at £25.92).

Tickets for the London eye are a bit simpler to price (well I have looked at the official site) as a standard ticket costs just under £19 for a standard ticket and a fast track ticket (if you want to bypass a majority of the queue) costs just under £29 if you pay on the day (there's a 10% discount if you book a ticket at least a day before online). |

Their menu is quite diverse, and for the curious, the girls in K-On! order the Two Eggs on Toast , which costs £4.50

It's been a while since anyone has noted anything about going to London, K-On! Style. Fortunately, not all hope is lost. In taking after Azusa's planning, I've noted that such a trip can be conducted for around 4000 Canadian Dollars (341,824.19 Yen, or 4048.60 American Dollars), during the late March time-frame. This would give us three days in London to explore (technically, two-and-a-half). Within that price range, transportation and accommodations are accounted for, as well as food and sightseeing elements. Thus, we have a trip that will last three days in London. They are expanded upon in these off-site links, but summarised, they are as follows.
I realise that the trip takes a few creative liberties (most noticably, the fact that we visit Camden last rather than first), but otherwise, more or less all of the locations in the movie are hit. These six posts are sufficiently detailed for such a trip to be planned out and demonstrate that the trip in the movie is possible. Moreover, a map of all the locations in the movie is included. Happy travelling!

This thread came in just in time. I might have a chance to go to London next year thanks to a school trip! I hope I'll have the chance to drop by some of the places the girls went (e.g. London eye XDD)
anyway, same as my previous post in this thread. Anyone have any idea if the sushi shop is real or pure fiction?

Having gone there, 1) Camden is FILLED with scary "Shock Rocket" style fashion rather than the Upbeat "Pop" fashion of HTT 2) Sadly, only the outside of the "Sushi" shop resembles the movie; it is just a generic cafe.
