Personal and Leisure Expenses per week for London students?

The long and short is I would like to know how much I should budget for personal and leisure expenses for students living in London. I'm going to LSE this September but I'll be living in Unite accommodation. I've already put down £95 a week which is around what UCL recommends (since I'm an international student I don't have the slightest clue on what it should look like).

Any thoughts?

I am interested in this as well. I asked this before on a few forums so you might find one of these threads helpful

Tldr, it seems like £250-300 would be a sufficient amount INCLUDING RENT. If rent is around £200 then that would be 50-100 after rent on food, travel etc. Although some have said that they get by with even less.
