London’s best: take-away porridge

There are many reasons to go to work on a bowl of porridge — it’s a good source of fibre, with a low glycaemic index so you feel fuller for longer, and it tastes wonderful. We don’t all have the time to make our own in the morning, so here are the best places to pick up some takeaway oat cuisine.
