I take it this is a trick question? Cantonese and Lira of course!
Nah... seriously, in London we speak English (it being the capital of England and all that) and we use the British Pound (Sterling). We also accept all major credit cards :-)
That'll be £2.50 please mate.

they speak english the euro and the pound.
The British currency is the pound sterling. The sign for the pound is £
GBP = Great British Pound (£)
We do not use the Euro. Although a few of the big shops will accept Euro, it is rarely used across Britain.
Since decimalisation in 1971 , the pound has been divided into 100 pence.
The pound (£) is made up of 100 pence (p) exactly like the dollar is split into 100 cents.
The singular of pence is "penny". The symbol for the penny is "p"; hence an amount such as 50p is often pronounced "fifty pee" rather than "fifty pence".
We have both coins and banknotes.
Current coins are: 1 penny, 2 pence, 5 pence, 10 pence, 20 pence, 50 pence, 1 pound, and 2 pounds.
Current bank notes are: the 5 pound note, the 10 pound note, the 20 pound note and the 50 pound note.
Old money conversions to money used today
Six pence - 2½p
One shilling (or 'bob') - 5p
Half a crown (2 shillings and sixpence) - 12½p
One guinea - £1.05

Well, they speak English. There is a small difference between English and American English. The currency is called pounds.

gold and silver coins are widely accepted.....
as for language in london it is not unusual to hear most foreign lingo......
but rhyming slang is most commonly used
so brin' your china plate to london and make sure you scarpa to the rub-a-dub-dub for a bevvie or two,but hide your bread and honey as there are some dodgy brass bands about.
p.s it can get expensive in some places, it might even cost ya a lady godiva for a nelson mandela...
enjoy the big smoke
