The Top Places For Breakfast In London

Breakfast – what used to be a rushed bowl of cornflakes before you leave the house has now become one of the best (and most exciting) meals of the day. Whether you’re an avocado aficionado or a fry-up fanatic, we’ve put together our best breakfasts in London...

1. The Breakfast Club

There are a few Breakfast Club venues over the city and with good reason too. As the name suggests breakfast is their forte and when looking for breakfasts in London they don’t disappoint. Tea is served in chunky smiley face mugs and they’re not scared of big portions. This is breakfast how you like it at home – but way better. Don’t leave without trying their pancake stack and the potatoes on the full English are reason alone to head there.

This is a venue for the more health-conscious among us and serves a whole range of delicious wholesome porridges, mueslis and toasties. Alex Hely-Hutchinson’s scandi influence is evident in the clean, white decor and the coffee mugs – which don’t even have handles. Make sure you try one of their health bowls and a smoothie; it’s also rumored to do one of the best chai lattes in the city.

Where: 1 Neal’s Yard, London WC2H 9DP

If you are looking for breakfast with a view to start your day, look no further than Darwin. 36 floors up, the views alone make it one of the best breakfasts in London. Ingredients are seasonal and home-grown where possible and the laid-back but luxe vibe inspired by nature makes it perfect for a breakfast date both before work or on a Saturday morning. Choose from a continental buffet packed with muffins, pastries, cereals and fruits or a number of hot choices such as wild mushrooms on sourdough, smashed avocado on toast or a pancake stack.
