Has Starbucks become too expensive in the UK?

Last June I bought a large decaf cappuccino at **Starbucks** in **London Victoria Station** and it cost £5.20. Absolutely insane. I was only there because my company sent me to **London** for a meeting, so I don’t normally buy coffee there, but it made me curious about how often people actually buy drinks from places like Starbucks now. Do people still get coffee there regularly, or has it become more of an occasional treat? I’m interested in how others see it compared with making coffee at home or using other cafés.
