Our latest update includes everything from an early morning Michelin-starred tasting menu to udon noodle bowls, South Indian platters and Hong Kong-style toasted buns. Of course, it wouldn't be a list of the best breakfasts in London without an appearance from Dishoom and their iconic-for-a-reason bacon naan, so that's here too, as is old school East End hangout E Pellicci - one of the best classic caffs in London. The most recent additions to the list include the return of the best bacon sarnie/bap in London, which is now available at St John Neal's Yard Wine Bar from 9am daily, and our brand new Number One in Highgate.
