Best greasy spoon (no disrespect) ive found in (greater) london. Nice spot to look outside on a nice day, and convenient having midland road station just over the road. Was welcomed as soon as I came in the door. The lady took my order, and I panicked. I didn't read the menus enough, thinking "1 breakfast please" would be standard parlez. It seems they have an extensive variety in how you can have your breakfast. I just picked the first one I saw. I wish I'd have got some chips and made it a brunch A very friendly lady brought my food over within 5 minutes. Every single item on the breakfast was lovely. I've had a few shoddy ones in london, so this was a gem to find. The tea was nice, too. Paid on card, exchanged pleasantries, and wondered off..... belly satisfied and ready for the days festivities.

Came in and was greeted by a lovely lady, sat down an ordered. 5 minutes later we where chowing down on a lovely unpretentious fry up, good quality, reasonably priced and delicious. In an area full of gentrified nonsense I'm glad I found this little gem.
