Personal spending habits
London is very expensive. Prepared food/restaurants are more expensive than the U.S. but I compensated by learning how to cook! Accommodation, private or University, was comparable to U.S. University housing but not U.S. apartment living. Nightlife, including restaurants clubs or bars and transport to get home, is disgustingly more. Travel is a tricky one. I've spent more on travel here but that's because it costs so much less to fly from London to Europe than from the U.S.

Personal comments
Financial surprise- A mobile phone was no more expensive than my landline. Buy phonecards to call the U.S. at rates of $.07. I shelled out about $16 a week for transport because most residences are not within reasonable walking distance of campus. I photocopied A LOT totalling well over $100. Then again, I didn't have to buy so many books.

Overall
LSE provided excellent opportunities for self discovery. Students were guided and supported by their professors. Each professor was highly specialized. The campus was modern and well positioned to local amenities. I would say that for undergraduate students the location was possibly a distraction to their studies. The career support was superb as many large organisations visited the campus regularly.

I wish I had known...
No, I pretty much expected it all. Except, books are sometimes hard to come by in the library because there are so many students.

Final comments
You have to plan out every aspect beforehand and try and stick to your schedule. Talk to other people about what their monthly expenses were so that you have an idea and can plan accordingly.
