I live in London and often eat alone when i'm out and about...
There are tons of places, Turkish kebab shops, Jamaican jerk kitchens, Goan cafes, Chinese all-you-can-eat buffets, Lebanese, iranian, polish, australian pie shops, London is probably one of the most diverse places on the globe. Don't worry, you'll never go hungry!
Dont forget the traditional British food as well - a full english breakfast in a 'greasy spoon', Pie and mash and liquor, FISH AND CHIPS, and the best, best, best place i can recommend is the 24-hour bagel bakery at the top end of Brick lane. There are queues even at 5 in the morning, and yo know its good because the policemen will be lining up with you! Salt beef and lots of mustard is the best, and you can buy bags of bagels to take away for later.
a few more to recommend:
Busaba - Store street/Soho - amazing asian flavours, better than wagamamas
Charlotte street has a great cheap pizza-cafe place on the corner of Goodge St, and a great fish and chip shop nearby.
Cornish pasties in Covent Garden, you can even get them to eat in the pub upstairs and have a great view.
The Markets like Camden, Leather lane, Golden Lanes and Berwick street all have great, cheap food stalls or you can go to Borough market on a friday/saturday and eat for free by just sampling the stalls! Everyone else does!!
you're making me hungry now....
