A bit surprising, considering the high fat values of the typical full English, but in a way not.  Full English is a relatively inexpensive way to dine out and keeps you going until well after lunchtime.  

This list is not comprehensive but does include several places where 67 has enjoyed breakfast.

Central London
    Ole & Steen, popular Danish bakery, North End Tottenham Court Road  plus  Soho: love their new'ish hot breakfast buns with omelette & bacon, sausage or mushroom  

    John Lewis, 5th Floor, Oxford Street - 11am Sunday opening

    
Chelsea:
    Peter Jones, top floor restaurant - slightly posher outlet of John Lewis

NORTH LONDON:
   The WatchHouse:  unusual and pleasing artisanal coffees plus beautifully designed and prepared breakfasts & snacks.  Bright, buzzy and worth every pound.  Two branches: opposite Belsize tube and on South End Green

    Roni's (Kosher Deli & Cafe): Belsize Village, Hampstead High Street & others 

    Sable D'or bakery/cafe, England's Lane, Belsize Park - good value English breakfasts; lovely sourdough breads and very nice croissants

    Chamomile, England's Lane - old stalwart

    Greenberry Hill - opposite Belsize Park tube

      

    

  

 PLUS

 Not the full English but good breakfast items :

      Ole & Steen, Hampstead High Street (near tube)

      Karma Bakery, South End Green, Hampstead - best smoked salmon scrambled eggs ever    
      Silverberry Deli, South End Green, Hampstead       

      Paul Bakery, Covent Garden & Hampstead High Street - good coffee, excellent rolls, sandwiches, bread; great for take-away picnic         Gails, opp Belsize Park tube (with pretty greenery decorated outside cafe) & on Hampstead High Street; tables in & out     

      Loft, 4 Canfield Gardens, Finchley Road tube; good coffee; hot meals fr 9 am; great service

      Libby's (replaced Black Truffle) on England's Lane: Astonishingly good gluten-free breads and pastries  

     And, slightly out of the way but well worth a detour, Panzers Deli opp the library in St Johns Wood: really, really delicious breakfast dishes and sweets and classic sandwiches and bagels/pittas/challa breads!   And felafels on Fridays. Prices not exhorbitant for excellent quality.  

 

And friendly service for the frugal:

    Matchsticks, 24 bus terminus, South End Green

    Garden Breakfast Cafe, near Finchley Road Station, next to the Japanese shop on side road opposite Waitrose 
    Victory Cafe (budget friendly excellent food; run by ex servicemen), 446 Fulham Road, Fulham Broadway  (open intermittently) 

    Lime Bistro Cafe, Chetwynd Road, NW5...a few short stops from the C11 bus at M&S South End Green.  Full English plus tea £7.95 
         

PS In the past, the Blogger breakfasted at Simpsons on the Strand.  It was memorable.  Breakfast at the Savoy is also excellent.  Both require deep pockets.
