Heading up to the smoke in November and staying near London Bridge. We arrive quite early, so will be dropping the bags off then looking for a cafe. Any decent suggestions?
The breakfast club looks good, anyone been?

If you just want to have a coffee Monmouth in Borough Market is great.

I did see that, but very little seating. Terry's looks good.

Depending on what style you’re after - there’s a relatively new Wolseley open on the top of London Bridge in the old dept store

Thanks. Not sure I am looking foe something so full on, maybe just coffee and cake. Although I won't know until the day, so good to have in the bank. Looks nice.

The Breakfast Club is not bad - if what you're after is Sausage, Eggs, Bacon etc.

Not the OP but that looks great. I must've been past there hundreds of times without knowing it was there, thanks for the recommendation.

Not surprising, its easily missed tucked away under a railway arch. Oh and that breakfast cost £8

If you want to go the other way you can have breakfast in the Rotunda Bar in the Four Seasons which is quite nice, been there a few times but its £35 for the full breakfast
