Breakfast: London
As much as I enjoy eating breakfast at The Savoy where we will again be staying, I also like venturing out to other places.
Will probably do the Delaunay (again) at least once.
Has anyone had breakfast at 45 Jermyn Street and if so, what did you think?
Any other recs appreciated; we'll be in town for a week.
Thanks

The obvious one is The Wolseley which I think you would probably love. For something less formal ie not a hotel I like Bishopsgate Kitchen, though it can be pretty busy. Also the smaller St John place (Bread and Wine??) which does the bacon baps etc

Have a look at The Wolseley on Piccadilly. Beautiful room and an excellent breakfast when I ate there. It can be a bit noisy. www.thewolseley.com.

How about a traditional full English breakfast - full of grease- eggs, potatoes, toast, fried tom-ah-tos-beans- bacon or sausage - ever had that? served with tom-ah-to sauce- brown sauce, etc. as served in workers' cafes and real B&Bs.
Not many places like that in touristed London but they abound in ordinary neighborhoods though becoming it seems less popular - the "full English" as the call it.
Quite a treat - once!

A good full English/Irish/Scottish is not full of grease, and being high in protein is actually a pretty good start to the day.
Never been served (or served!) potatoes with my full English - that is an American thing I think? Also normally it is beans or tomatoes not both, and of course any combination of the basics you want should be available Hopefully fresh tomatoes, fried, not tinned. Same with mushrooms, but many greasy spoons opt for the ease of the tinned varieties. Yuk.
I don't normally eat breakfast but the occasional proper English breakfast is a real treat.

I guess I should have made certain everybody knows I actually have had breakfast and in England and more than once.
I really wish people would read threads more carefully.
Hetismij2, thank you for your comments.

Pal, stay OFF my thread, OK?>
Why this stuff is of general interest to others and hetismij makes good comments about the full English - if you want a private thread go somewhere else! Did not know Fodor's threads were private?
What was wrong with my well-intended post?
Sorry did not think it offensive and do not know why you are so upset.
Cheers!

The Wolseley is owned by the same people as the Delauney. Very well run restaurants, great breakfasts.
Most of my favorite breakfast places are in Notting Hill, perhaps a bit far to go? Granger & Co is the best, though no reservations and often a queue for tables. 202 Westbourne Grove is excellent too. And Farmacy, if you'd like a vegetarian breakfast (though they do serve eggs). I had some nice pancakes there recently, it's a lovely restaurant.

'pikelets is what northern Britons call crumpets, if they are using "pikelets" I give up'
50 shades of wrong.
Crumpets are round. Pikelets are the long thing fingery ones. Northern and long and thin and mean
