Augumented Reality App for London Only Shows Yankee Fastfood Chains

cellphone with picture street in London surrounded by common U.S.

I kind of like the idea of "Augmented Reality" (AR) and consider it the next logical step in GPS applications, but I found it strange that the food listings advertised on the iPhone App for London Transit consist almost entirely of U.S. fastfood chains. I mean, it's nice to be fitted out with the latest in technology but you'd hope it could do more than simply direct you to the nearest McDonald's or KFC.
