Citrus feed / food is fertilizer with an analysis (N-P-K again) that is generally considered good for citrus plants. It will probably also have a collection of micronutrients good for the average citrus plant in the average soil that citrus tend to be grown.

Similarly, palm food is a fertilizer with a similar but slightly different analysis that is optimal for palms. It may (hopefully will) have more magnesium than citrus food because many of the popular landscape palms are not native to where they are grown and need more of magnesium than is available (in Florida soils, anyway).

Citrus and palm fertilizers may be hard to find in London, unless climate change is going a whole lot faster than we've been told. But if you look, I'm sure there is a fertilizer that has a similar analysis.
