If you are looking for an inexpensive breakfast and a legitimate London experience, come to the Cabmen's shelter. A filled and huge breakfast bap is only 5.50 and is deliciously. Full selection of coffee and tea. All made to order but even with only one person on, this is quick. A really unique experience and save some money from the overpriced breakfast and brunch spots in central London.
