"If you’re hopping on the train at Waterloo, you can’t live on crumpled packets of Walkers alone. Head to Chunnel Bar for a substantial breakfast before your journey. It’s a straightforward caff serving excellent fry-ups and milky brews, and their meaty, herby sausages have reached local legend status. The chatty owners take on familial roles, questioning why you haven’t eaten your fourth slice of toast. Inside it’s comfortingly old-fashioned, with wipe-clean seats and a TV that everybody ignores. But grab one of the wooden benches that spill out onto the street if the weather’s nice, and watch Lower Marsh rumble to life." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
