126. Blue River Cafe
📍Kings Cross. Right across the street from a lovely boozer called King Charles I. The Full English is £13 and comes with two sausage, two bacon, one egg, beans, two hashbrowns, mushrooms, toast . After adding tea it came to £15. Positives: hashbrowns and eggs were nice. Negatives: cheap sausage, plenty of bean juice, no black pudding included at £15, toast not served on a separate plate, mushrooms undercooked. Watch my reel here.
127. Park Cafe
📍Park Royal. The Full English at Polish-run, Park Cafe in Park Royal. It came to £11.90 after I added tea and black pudding which weren’t included. Positives; service was quick and friendly, served on a big white plate, bacon nice & crispy. Let downs; cheap sausage, not a fan of the egg cooked like this, plus it was overcooked, mushrooms and black pudding a little under-done. Also I’m not sure how people feel about the sausage being cut like this but I’m sure people are going to kick-off.
128. Canteen Cafe
📍Cambridge Heath. It wasn’t a very memorable one. I went for the No. 4 for £9.50 which included sausage, two bacon, one egg, beans, black pudding, tea and toast. After adding hashbrowns it came to £12. Positives: Most items were cooked right, tea and toast included, the owner was a white bloke wearing a durag. Negatives: cheap sausage, beans not warm enough, toast cut at a weird angle, not much atmosphere. Last visit 16/01/2026. Watch the reel here.
129. Speedy’s Sandwich Bar & Cafe
📍Euston. Famously used as the cafe often visited by Shelock Holmes in the TV series ‘Sherlock’. The fry-up isn’t great and the place is pretty run-down.
130. Hanwell Cafe
📍Hanwell. A Turkish-owned cafe in the depths of Hanwell I have little reason to visit. Egg, sausage, bacon, bubble, chips, mushroom, black pudding, tomato for under a tenner. It’s one of those breakfasts that isn’t a winning any awards but just about does the trick. It’s on a nice large white plate, I like that they serve bubble and chips together, and most items were cooked well. Let down by the low quality sausage, not a great egg, and black pudding under-cooked. Nice friendly service though.
131. Mummy Yummy Cafe
📍Hayes. Mummy Yummy Cafe (awful name, I know) at Selco in Hayes. I think after Waterloo Bus Cafe I’m on a mission to find more niche cafs and being hidden above a builders shop in Hayes is pretty niche if you ask me. This was the Mega Breakfast for £11.99 and came with two sausage, two bacon, beans, mushrooms, tomato, tea & toast. Bacon cooked well, nice hashbrowns and a good amount of beans. Let down by cheap sausages, no black pudding and a tomato almost as undercooked as the one you’ll get at Norman’s. The flower vase on each table was a little confusing too as the only clientele would be builders grabbing breakfast or lunch together.
132. Spicy Noodle Cafe
📍Balham. Spicy Noodle Cafe is a Chinese-run cafe in Balham. Breakfast 1 cost £9.30 and came with sausage, bacon, egg, beans and black pudding, tea and toast. No potato based item so I added hashbrown. They’re actually more popular for their Chinese dishes with most people eating chicken curry with chips and rice or special fried rice/noodles, so I also got a wonton noodle soup, which was served in what I think is a ramen bowl. Pros; black pudding nice and crispy, great hashbrowns, nice egg, and they do Chinese food. Negatives; bacon underdone, sausage about 5% meat, no bubble/hashbrown/chips automatically included, toast cut at a triggering angle.
133. Sam’s Cafe
📍Whitton. Sam’s Cafe is a Turkish-run cafe in Whitton. This is the first caf I’ve been to for a while that’s been completely empty. For £11.80 you get two bacon, sausage, black pudding, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, bread & tea. Positives: tea and bread included, perfectly cooked bacon. Negatives: cheap sausage, beans could be more well stewed, egg cooked in a ring, knock off brown sauce not great, no atmosphere. Last visit 19/05/2026. Watch the reel here.
134. Orchard Cafe
📍Feltham. Located just below Heathrow Airport. The Orchard Special is £10.95 and comes with two sausage, two bacon, two eggs, mushrooms, beans, hashbrow, black pudding, tea and toast. It’s good to have everything included but the sausages weren’t great, there was a lot of excess bean juice and they were cold, and the atmosphere was pretty dead. Last visit 15/09/25. Watch the reel here.
135. Peckham Bus Cafe
📍Peckham. You know a bus driver hates to see me coming. The small breakfast for £5.50 at Peckham Bus Cafe. Proper sausage, decent egg, mushrooms cooked well. Let down by the severely undercooked tomato. Can’t argue with that price though. I also tried the jerk chicken and curry goat. As well as a pool table also have a full size snooker people (with no tears). Full review tomorrow.
136. Devon’s Cafe
📍Bow. For £10.80 you get one sausage, two bacon, one egg, mushroom, beans, bubble, tea & toast. After adding black pudding it came to £12.80. Positives: tea and toast included, lovely toast and two slices, bacon cooked perfectly, nice black pudding. Negatives: Bean juice city and they weren’t warm enough, cheap sausage, no black pudding included, egg cooked in a ring. Last visit 12/5/2026. Watch my reel here.
137. Billy’s Cafe
📍Hackney. This greasy spoon has a lot of potential. They’re just off Hackney Road, on a corner, have a beautiful shopfront and fixed seating but they let it all down by serving a cheap sausage, cooking eggs in a mold, and plating it all up on the worst looking black plates you’ve ever seen. I’d rather wait it out in line at E Pellicci.
138. Cafe De Vine
📍Tower Hill. With a five star Google rating and more reviews than any other greasy spoon in London you’d expect a decent breakfast at Cafe De Vine, but other than the sausage being half decent, the rest of it was a letdown. The beans were runny and cold, the eggs were cooked over-easy, the mushrooms were from a tin, the sauces were knock-offs, the toast was burnt, the price was way too high and the place had no atmosphere. With Last visit 23/09/2026. Watch the reel here.
139. Sheila’s
📍Paddington. Nothing short of a tourist trap. I couldn’t find much history about the place but apparently it dates back to the 1970s. The “Full English” that’s far from full is £13 and includes one sausage, two bacon, one egg, hashbrowns, beans and toast. No blackpudding, no mushrooms, no tea. After adding tea and service it came to £17.33. Postives: Not a bad sausage, bacon crispy. Negatives: Overpriced, beans in a ramekin and cold, HP and Heinz bottles had been filled up a record number of times and didn’t even contain HP or Heinz, eggs old/flat, hashbrowns under done, service added, toast on the same plate. Last visit 08/09/2026. Watch my reel here.
140. Cafe Diana
📍Bayswater. A Princess Diana themed cafe in Bayswater near the North entrance to Kensington Palace Gardens. This Iraqi-owned spot has been going since 1988 and was even visited multiple times by Diana herself. It’s worth a visit for the novelty if you’re into ‘are Di’ but the breakfast isn’t great. The sausage and bacon are cheap, portions are small, and beans come in a ramekin.
141. Shepherdess Cafe
📍Old Street. This greasy spoon used to be a gem. The walls were covered with famous people who had visited over the years like Tom Jones and Jamie Oliver, who used to be a regular. They had very distinct fixed green and white seating. The breakfast although not the best, did the trick, and there was always a great atmosphere. For some reason they decided to completely refurbish the place from the inside out and it has completely lost it’s character and charm. None of the regulars who used to go there still go anymore. The breakfast is now served on one of those square coloured plates and looks terrible too.
142. Sunsnacks Cafe
📍Lisson Grove. This cafe changed hands a few years ago. Apparently it used to be good but the breakfast is pretty disappointing now. The bubble was a wet mash, the sausage was poor quality, as was the bacon, the fried egg was cooked in a mould, the mushrooms weren’t very fresh, and I hate the coloured square plat. Service wasn’t very friendly either.
143. Mugi
📍Ealing Common. Mugi is a Serbian cafe in Ealing Common. The English breakfast is £9.95 and you get three sausage, two bacon, two eggs, tomato, mushrooms, beans and chips. I also got a cevapčiči for £11.50. Positives: chips were nice, beans well stewed I guess. Negatives: lettuce on the plate, tomato raw, beans placed on top of sausages, cheap sausages, bacon not great, overcooked egg, knock off sauces. Go for the cevapčiči instead. Last visit 28/05/2026. Watch my reel here.
144. Palace Restaurant Cafe
📍Victoria. With a 1.8 Google rating I don’t think Palace Restaurant Cafe is just the worst ranked cafe in London, I think it’s the worst ranked restaurant full stop. Just around the corner from Buckingham Palace. You’re not actually allowed to film in here but I got away with it. After adding tea the breakfast came to £20!Negatives; the price, knock off sauces and came in little pots, cheap sausage, bacon had a weird taste, bean portion very small and cold, funeral parlour atmosphere. Positives; hashbrown nice and crispy, the eggs looked nice. Last review 22/12/2025. Watch the reel here.
