+1. If you want the authentic English Breakfast, you need to find a bona fide "Greasy Spoon" café, as frequented by builders, cabbies, truckers etc. "Builder's tea" is even in the vernacular to describe a mug of strong breakfast tea (with full fat milk of course).

Googling "greasy spoon paddington" reveals Raffles on Praed Street as an example: http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz/raffles-london-5. I have not been there so cannot vouch for its authenticity.

No, it's an international hotel chain, which IME have no bearing on any country's cuisine whatsoever. Happy to point out several quality fry-ups nearby if you're interested.

Cheers :)

On Saturday and Sunday the breakfast was down on the first floor in the restaurant. It was (relatively) fine. (Well - OK.)

Now that we are having breakfast on the 3rd floor - not so good.

My most major complaint is that for two days straight the scrambled eggs have been stone cold. And today I was the first person to get any out of a new delivery from the kitchen! Cold scrambled eggs - Yum!

Also, the selection seems to be notably deficient from what was available on the weekend. There are no soft boiled eggs, no waffles, no pancakes. (That is just what I noticed.)

Even at its best, this breakfast doesn't begin to compare to what we have had many/most other places. But this is England, so I should expect it. :-)

        Bah Humbug!
        Paul
