The Best Late-Night Restaurants in London | Eater London

"Night out in Elephant & Castle? Head up the Walworth Road to Bagel King, the 24/7 bagel joint to rival east London’s Beigel Bake. On the filled bagel front, jerk chicken is a regular favourite but it also serves patties and curry goat box meals with rice and peas. Sweet tooth? Get a slushie or a slice of warming apple crumble with custard." - Daisy Meager

London’s Best Bagels | Beigel Bake Salt Beef, But There’s More | Eater London

"An an apex of south London just below the Thames, Bagel King’s location makes for a perfect stop off on the way home after a night out: hence the packed and rowdy nature of the shop after hours. Bagel King caters to a wide array of ethnic communities in the area: expect Chinese and Mexican-style chicken fillings; ackee, saltfish, and jerk chicken. Bagel King follows no traditional rules and lets customers go wild with combinations, so it’s not uncommon to hear someone asking for Jerk chicken, cheese and egg late at night." - Riaz Phillips

They don't actually serve bagels. This "filled bagel" option (which is every item on the menu, see pic) is just whatever that item is in a ballpark hamburger bun. I showed them the bagel picture from the googlepics related to this search and they have no idea where it came from, said it didn't come from them. That being said; I had the spicy crispy chicken "bagel" (in a ballpark bun) and ate it on the street. The chicken was great and it was indeed spicy. Spicier than whatever weak levels Londoners consider "spicy".

Bagel King is great! The Asian boy who helped me gave the best customer service ever. He was so kind and made my visit really nice. The food was really enjoyable.

Bagel King is an absolute gem! Open 24/7, this spot serves fantastic food with amazing and fast service at any hour of the day or night. I recently stopped by and ordered a chicken bagel and the bread and custard pudding, and I was blown away by the flavors. Every bite of the chicken bagel was packed with flavor, and the meat was perfectly seasoned. The bread and custard pudding was a delightful surprise—it melted in my mouth, and I could taste the rich, creamy texture in every bite. What makes Bagel King even better is the super reasonable pricing. You get great quality food without breaking the bank, which is always a plus. I highly recommend Bagel King to anyone looking for delicious food and quick, friendly service. Whether it’s day or night, this place has you covered!

Really good experience. Staff were friendly, nice and attentive which made a difference. The bagel was fresh, warm and full of flavour. It came quickly and everything was exactly as I ordered. Would definitely go again.

Bagel King is definitely one of my favourite places to order takeaway from. I’ve definitely had bagel king 12+ times and the food has never once disappointed . I wouldn’t even say I’ve ever tried anything that I didn’t like. I’ve tried the curry goat, jerk chicken with jollof, beef&cheese patties, jerk chicken bagels, mac & cheese croquettes , lamb samosas, barbecue buffalo wings, the bagel king special wings , coleslaw and their slushies and all have been delicious . I think it’s good value for money, they’re always quick, it’s always nice and they’re open until late which is handy. They used to do these amazing garlic oxtail buns which I would love for them to bring back if possible but overall , I’m a huge fan.

Not worth it. They charged me 9.00 in total for just chocolate fudge 3.50 cream doughnut 2.20 cream cheese bagel 3.30. Service is poor standard. Worst in London. Please go to Brick Lane Bagels in Liverpool Street instead of this. Will never do business here ever!

Absolutely terrible. Everything we ordered was trash. Bagel and cream cheese should be easy. Who microwaves a bagel and cream cheese?? It was a soggy soupy mess. Chicken sandwich was horrible. Donuts all stale. Can't possibly rate lower

When in need, this place puts out. Open late, maybe even 24 hours. But in the wee hours of the morning, desperate to fill an empty belly full only of beer, this place does it! The first time I went here, I had a sloppy bagel full of goo. It was okay. But last time I was here, I had the salt beef. And to my surprise, tasted like something from NYC. Looking forward to my next trip friday night/saturday morning! I'm having the salt beef!

Talk about a fortuitous encounter. 12 hours left in London, an empty stomach, and £9.39 to my name. I needed something that would both satiate me for the moment and leave me enough to have something resembling breakfast tomorrow before hopping on the Tube to Heathrow. Enter the Bagel King, where I obtained a hot lamb samosa for the most attractive sum of £1.10. It was greasiness incarnate - seriously forcing me to reevaluate the meaning of the word as I knew it - but for all that it was hearty, spicy, and exactly what my grumbling stomach needed. Also, it was roughly the size of my face. You can't beat that, now. So thanks go to the Bagel King, whom I shall remember dearly next time I find myself in the armpit of Elephant & Castle.

Bagel King has never failed me yet to fulfill a late night munch. Early in the AM after a good party or Road trip. First Stop; Bagel King for Patty & Coco bread or a Caribbean meal. The food is tasty and portions are good. Staff are Okay although they could improve on their customer service skills. Ps- They also sell Milkshakes, Buns and cakes.

The best thing about this place is its open for 24 hours, which was great for picking up a quick snack on my way for an early flight. Certainly not the best bagels I've ever had but they do serve other things here such as patties and the biggest cream filled cakes with thick icing imaginable. There are numerous fillings for the bagels and if appropriate they will ask if you want it heated. During the weekends you get a few late night revellers getting food as it's just over a ten minute walk from the Ministry of Sound, obviously a lot quicker if you're driving or took the bus.

Well, they're microwaved bagels with who knows how old sandwich spread. I think that says it all.

It's good for what it is - a 24hour place where you can get bagels, chicken & rice, cakes of different varieties. Basically all good alcohol-soaking food. Also good for when you haven't had any dinner and the shops are all closed.

Cheap and cheerful- a slightly healthier alternative to the other late night kebab shops. The food is generously sized and cheap, though i'm not sure how fresh it is! As the other reviewer said, the donuts and cakes are HUGE! Roughly the size of a victoria sandwich I would say and covered in icing and cream. A cheap and filling snack that is open all hours!

Loads of choice of bagel fillings to cakes and custard with drinks like carrot juice and Guinness punch mmmm... but a favourite for me on the way home from a club or bar for a quick bite

Last night was my 2nd visit to Bagel king for years...All I had was a beef Pattie,was still hungry so I went back and bought 6 BBQ chicken wings. Those wings gave me food poisoning messed me up all night and it's now morning and still got bad diahorrea and pounding headache similar to a hang over...The first time I bought your Jerk chicken it was all pink inside and not cooked. Never again!!!!!! Guys, please don't get caught out in the hype about the legacy of this place and how long it's been there bla bla bla because clearly the original bagel king owners who prepared fresh food properly from 2003/4 are not present today and these young guys serving food don't give a damn about the quality of food they are serving you....There's kebab shops that's been in the area way before bagel king ...So what!!! My health was put at risk and they will keep feeding those poor kids that flock their shop all day with old expired meat which devastated me. 13:30 in the afternoon and I'm still in pain/bed bound , I have never been this sick all year..I'm surprised bagel king haven't been shut down. 6 bloody chicken wings!!!!!!! Not happy Bagel King - Improve your food quality/hygiene or you could cause death by food poisoning!!! Mainly salmonella
