"This much-photographed Westminster caff has been around since 1946, but it’s no snoozy museum piece. Every morning a mix of tourists, suits, and solo diners in fluorescent jackets pour over plates of eggs and broadsheets from 7am, while steadfastly ignoring Claudia’s battle cry of “FULL ENGLISH, BEANS, ALL THE EXTRAS”. Tables are turned quickly—dithering is not welcomed here—and food often makes it to the pass for you to collect before you make it back to your table. The fry-ups, bacon sandwiches, and teas and coffees sloshed into white mugs are comfort food, with even more comforting prices." - jake missing, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
