Lomography 800 is £15 for a box of three rolls. It’s re-badged Kodak similar to Gold/ Ultramax. Bit of a bargain really, though Lomography’s stock of it can be flakey. Best buy big when it’s in stock
Other than that you’re paying through the nose for Porta 800 or importing Fuji Venus

Does anyone have any suggestions for a high asa, colour film that would be good for shooting the street photography?
Everything I can find is £10+ per roll.
That's a tricky one.
There's CineStill 800T, Portra 800 Fuji "Venus" 800 and Fuji Superia & Natura 1600 ..and they're all £10+.
And they all look pretty "rough" / grainy / colours get a bit weird.If I really wanted to shoot dark-ish street scenes on colour negative film I'd probably just shoot Kodak Portra 400 at 1600.
Google some examples / search on flickr.
To me, the results look more pleasing than the 800 or 1600 ISO films. -
Agfaphoto 400 seems to have disappeared sadly. That was ~ £2.20 a roll.
I used to push cheap Superia 400 if I couldn’t get 800. So that’s shooting one stop under, but push processing by 2 stops over.
You could try Kodak Vision 3 500T. Search for ‘short ends’ on eBay if you want to spool it yourself.
Or just shoot b&w :D

So for the moment, I've all but given up shooting film. I'm a little sad about it but I'm sure I will catch the bug again soon - I'm just fed up paying through the nose for film.
