I second the B&B (also called guesthouses), you can find them quite cheap and most have breakfast included in the cost of the room for the night. So you get decent accomadation and you don't have to pay for a meal.
As far as getting around the UK if you know your schedule well in advance you can get a friggin steal on easyjet, however you have to get to one of the regional airports from heathrow to fly on easyjet. Both the train and discount airlines over there are cheaper the earlier you book, unlike over here where there can be random seat sales at random times.
Also the sleeper train is an option as you knock off two birds with once stone (transportation and accomadation) for one price.
If you have an Iphone or Ipod touch, you can save on a ton of weight from guidebooks and maps with apps from the app store for cheap. There are some great interactive apps for transit systems in various cities as well.
Thats all I got for now.
