Reasons to go
Full description
Regency Cafe has served classic British breakfasts from the same Art Deco premises near Westminster since 1946, and its black-and-white tiled interior has appeared in several films, cementing its status as a genuine London landmark rather than a manufactured tourist stop. The format is simple and efficient: order at the counter, queue at peak times, and expect a straightforward, unfussy full English rather than any modern flourishes.
Its very high must-see and culture scores paired with a low trendy score capture that exactly — this is heritage and authenticity over novelty. At 4.7 stars over 5,000 reviews, it remains immensely popular despite its resolutely old-fashioned approach.
