Take breakfast at the Wolseley

In your author's experience there are very few restaurants in London where breakfast is completely unaffordable, and getting a reservation somewhere before 9am is almost always possible. As a result before work is a great time to explore some of the places where you otherwise might not dare, and though the Wolseley pushes price decency with a £5.75 bacon roll and a £16.50 Full English, it isn't a bad place to take breakfast, relaxing in the splendid setting of a Grade II* listed building that was once the Wolseley Motors Limited showroom,the 1920s creation of architect William Curtis Green.


As with most restaurants at this end of the market, things are never quite as good as everyone says they are, especially when you're on a budget (your author prefers Terry's), but when the company is right and the service is up to scratch, Chris Corbin and Jeremy King's modern take on a grand European cafe is as good a place as any to gear up for the day ahead

  1. I am not a breakfast eater on weekdays and only eat Sunday brunch... leisurely and sun filled (not in June!!!). But a pure silver tea set designed in about 1800 will win my heart in a micro second.

  2. I felt much the same when we visited. It was nice, but not a stellar, earth-moving experience. I must head back another time to see if the experience elevates.
