Because all those things are far more expensive in London than in Madrid, especially travel and nightlife.

Please do make sure to eat. Some students are such sticks when the return back home to their home country!
Tip: DONT overspend. the banks seem to attract you with their overdraft facilities, but dont fall into the trap. Dont use up the overdraft to the bitter end...I had to pay back my overdraft and it was painful! So pls..dont overspend..dont go out to much! (ok kinda hard...but at least try not to spend too much!)

Internet access is free at university, luckily there was a university building just accross the road from my student halls which was accessible 24 hours a day; cost saving quite hard in London
