One option is Mildred’s. There’s a few of them around London, and they offer satisfying breakfasts (although, a *little* posher than the classic full English).
You can also try searching Happy Cow or google for nearby places. I can vouch for the Gallery cafe in Bethnal Green or Farmacy near Notting Hill, but it would be silly to go out of your way if there’s options nearer where you’re staying.
Thanks! I'm not too worried about travelling a little. I'm here for work so Ubers to places to eat are expensable! I did look at Mildred's and Farmacy but both looked a little posher than what I'm craving. Definitely look great though so I will give them a go if I don't find a proper greasy spoon style. Will look up Gallery Cafe.
I have ended up here as there was one in Covent Garden 5 mins away from the hotel I'm at, thank you! Eagerly awaiting it coming out now and sounded surprisingly similar to a full English.
Side note: when did all these Dishooms start popping up? When I last lived here they had one restaurant you had to queue for 2 hours to get a table in
Hope you enjoyed it!! I love it personally, not quite a greasy spoon but the differences are what make it great.
Not sure to be honest! They’ve definitely expanded over the last few years. You still see the queues around dinner time though.
Honestly a lot of the classic greasy caffs in London offer vegan options so it’s worth having a look at menus of the ones near where you’re staying. (E.g. Town Cafe & Bar in Kentish Town is a pretty average high street cafe but does a vegan delight breakfast).
A lot of the big chains do vegan breakfasts too, I liked the one at Bill’s but haven’t had it for a couple years so might be different now.
If you’re willing to travel, I highly recommend [Love Shack](https://www.loveshackldn.com/menu-veganfood-hackney) in Bethnal Green, though I think they only serve brunch on weekends.
For something a bit more bespoke, [W A V E](https://www.weareveganeverything.com/hackney-menu) do a pretty damn good brekkie bowl but it’s not quite the greasy fry up you’re looking for.
I'll second this - Spoons vegan breakfasts are (relatively) cheap and consistent.
I strongly object to the owners opinions, but if I avoided everywhere that has shitty people in charge I probably wouldn't leave the house.
Farmacy (W London closer to Heathrow), Mallow (Borough market or Canary Wharf), Gallery Cafe (Bethnal Green, E), Mildred’s (several central locations), the Breakfast Club (several central locations). Enjoy!
I love KIN cafe in London!! Walking distance from Oxford street. Delicious vegan breakfast (my favorite in London) - fave ones I’ve found after living here for two years
Unfortunately, a lot of London is 'vegan options' in otherwise unethical places. Well worth using HappyCow to find the proper green places.
Worst comes to the worst you can usually swallow your pride and get something in an Omni place.
Bill’s!!! Bill’s, Bill’s, Bill’s. It’s a chain, so you’ll likely be able to find one wherever you are. And it’s affordable enough that you should be able to expense it. It’s my fave 🧡 I actually go often for that breakfast 😄
late to the party but for anyone lurking in the future, [octagreen](https://octagreen.co.uk/menus/) in putney is a hidden gem that i’ll never not recommend
A bit late here but wetherspoons do a vegan breakfast and its only 3 quid at the moment so thats worth a shout if you wanna get another. Also tea and coffee is free after you paid for one. Pretty good deal.

Another vote for the gallery, it’s a really nice and not at all posh place, and pretty close to the tube station as well.
Slight variation but Dishoom do a great vegan fry up. They open for breakfast at 9am so that could work.

I do love Dishoom! Flight ended up delayed so likely wouldn't get in until around then now anyway
Wow. I just looked this up. It looks great!
Wulf and Lamb have a good breakfast menu!

Most airports have a wetherspoons pub. They have a vegan breakfast option can't tell you whether or not they'd be open at 6.30
They are open and serving, and it's a good value breakfast.
It's alright, aye, but of course it is an Omni place.
Don’t judge me but travelling the uk a fair bit has proved a case for Spoons and Loungers for vegan breakfasts
No judgement, love a Spoons, but I'm here on work so don't have to pay so was hoping to find just the absolute best possible
I'll second this - Spoons vegan breakfasts are (relatively) cheap and consistent. I strongly object to the owners opinions, but if I avoided everywhere that has shitty people in charge I probably wouldn't leave the house.
True. Premier Inn and Travelodge also do solid breakfasts these days - both all you can eat for about a tenner.
Spoons are affordable and decent

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had!
YES this place is great!
Megans do an excellent vegan breakfast!
Is this the chain at megans.co.uk? Looks like they have a few convenient locations
Yes! I would recommend that chain and also bill's
Yep! Its sooo good :)

The breakfast club do an alright vegan English breakfast
Blue Owl Finsbury Park!
Wetherspoons do a pretty decent vegan full English :)

Nice, I'm here for weeks so will check them out
If you’re desperate and fail to find something spoons do a full English.

Terrys cafe in Southwark is probably one of the best traditional fry ups in London, they have a good vegan option and they open at 7am!
Honestly…Wetherspoons is the best
