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  & Soho
    Le Pain Quotidien, near Goodge St Station - still popular and well attended
    John Lewis, 5th Floor, Oxford Street - ditto; 11am Sunday opening

    Balans, Old Compton Street, Soho - slightly seedy in the old Soho-style but food is generous and decent and service friendly 
   
Chelsea:
    Peter Jones, top floor restaurant - slightly posher outlet of John Lewis

NORTH LONDON:
    Greenberry Restaurant opposite Belsize Park tube - buzzy replacement for the previous Bob's, can be pricey

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

    Sable D'or, England's Lane, Belsize Park

    Chamomile, England's Lane

   

    

  

 PLUS

 Not the full English but good breakfast items   
      Silverberry Deli, South End Green, Hampstead       

      Paul Bakery, Covent Garden - good coffee, excellent rolls, sandwiches, bread

      Ole & Steen, Hampstead High Street (near tube)     

      Karma Bakery, South End Green, Hampstead - best smoked salmon scrambled eggs ever     
      Gails, opposite Belsize Park tube & Hampstead High Street; tables in & out

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

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

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

 

And 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)  
         

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.
