Bolu?
Can't bring myself to add it to the list for the food* but it has fond memories of 24 hour booze in a paper bag. That and 'Home James' on Coldharbour were the places of my misspent youth.

EXMOUTH MARKET EC1 - Morito - Small but perfectly formed tapas/mezze bar next door to sister restaurant Moro. Dishes from £2.50. Veggie dishes are about £4, specials a bit more. Great sherries.
GOODGE ST - Le Pain du Jour, big, well-filled baguettes from £1.80, cheap baked potatoes and soup as well
JUDD ST - The King of Falafel, Judd St/Tavistock place - I like falafel, what can I say. This place is fantastic though, their 'moroccan bread' is a bit more expensive but stuffed with tomato or spinach and wrapped round really good falafel and salad. Best halloumi I've tasted as well
LEATHER LANE - Sara's Food Store & King of Falafel. £4 for a lunch box of hot Turkish yum or about £3.50 for a falafel. Authentic and tasty.
OLD COMPTON ST - Maoz, Delicious falafel in pitta for about £3.70, but with a sort of unlimited all-you-can-eat salad bar which they let you take the piss with. You just eat the filling from your pitta, fill it up again, take it back, repeat until bursting.
PICCADILLY - Yoshino, must be the cheapest sushi in London. Shrink-wrapped in plastic but really good. £2.50 for a vegetarian lunch box
REGENT STREET - Japan Centre - almost anything Japanese, love the dorayaki pancakes and korrokkes
WARDOUR ST - Misato - great japanese fast food, bento box £8.60, huge queues on busy days, massive quantities
WEBBER ST - El Vergel, chilean goods at 132 Webber Street
WIGMORE ST - Comptoir Libanais - nice modern Lebanese food, canteen style cafe, sub £10 -
