Any suggestions for a light inexpensive breakfast in London near marble arch area thank you!

As with everywhere, restaurants come and go.

If your hotel doesn't offer breakfast, your best bet is to scout the neighborhood, hopefully the night before.

Try Giraffe (chain of restaurants who do good breakfasts) or grab a pastry and coffee at Carluccio's - an Italian chain.

Marks and Spencer has a huge store on Oxford St at Marble Arch, you can get something quick and easy in their basement cafe.

Is porridge oatmeal?

"Is porridge oatmeal?"
It is made with oats, so I would imagine the answer to the question is yes.

Porridge is usually made from whole rolled oats.
