Well no-one is going to force you to eat the full English if you don't want it! Everywhere will give you a choice and there is almost invariably a selection of fruit juice, cereals and toast on offer as well as the f.e. (or even as well as it for us greedy guts). bear in mind that the full Egnlish is not something we all actually eat at home (apart from as a rare treat) so we do have plenty of other breakfast ideas.

If you just want scrambled egg on toast,a boiled egg, bacon and mushroom, or just a couple of the items off the full English, they'll be happy to do it for you. At my last B&B I was offered scrambled eggs and smoked salmon as an option too on one of the mornings.

You won't find bagels at many (if any) hotel or B&B breakfast tables here though. You'll just have to make do with bread.

Or MacDonalds now do a bagel breakfast range. I'm very fond of their bagel with cream cheese.

NewYorkTraveler - if you get homesick, sandwich shops which make your sandwich to order often have bagels with cream cheese and lox.

You're not likely to be able to get this at a hotel breakfast; you never know though (I once stayed in a hotel in Vienna where you had five different breakfast buffet sections arranged by nationality; as well as the "usual" options there was, for example, grits, a huge range of pickled fish, an entire cooked salmon and a breakfast stir-fry option.

As others have said, you can buy bagels with smoked salmon & cream cheese in M&S to take away but won't generally get then anywhere to eat in (it's more of a lunchtime sandwich thing here). Having said that I know the Traverse bar & the Filmhouse bar (in Edinburgh) both have done them in the past - but probably only from lunchtime onwards. However some places in Edinburgh have a variant of Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon instead of ham - the Cameo Bar on Commercial Street in Leith is one.
