Water is awkward as who buys bottled water for use in the home?
Loads of people. All the Turkish shops near me have six packs of 1.5l bottles stacked up by the door and you see plenty of people buying them. God knows why.

I know right! Our water systems are the best in the world and without fault.

The taste of the water in some parts of London or even in some buildings might be unpleasant. Some folks might find comfort in knowing they won’t suddenly be left without water (eg old folks with limited mobility, rather than preppers). There also seems to be various cultural elements related to it: snobbery, distrust of water companies, beliefs about cleanliness.
It’s a real shame that so much plastic is being used for disposable bottles in a city that has potable water everywhere.

Habits from growing up somewhere with unsafe tapwater, like Devon.

Perhaps they grew up when/where the tap water wasn't great. Or they believe that London water has been through six people. Or that it has cocaine in it.

Food is fine, assuming you have the cash to fill your cupboards. Water is awkward as who buys bottled water for use in the home? Canned water lasts a lot longer but isn't widely available in the same way.
