London's best egg and bacon sandwiches
What better way to start the week than with a good bacon and egg sandwich? They can fix all manner of problems, so here are five of the most egg-cellent in town.
Newman Street Tavern
Homemade white crusty bread, plenty of perfect porcine goodness and an eggs-pertly cooked yolk — what’s not to love? £6.50.
48 Newman Street, W1, newmanstreettavern.co.uk
The 3 Crowns
Not only is the sourdough bread used in this super sarnie delicious but it comes from a good place — Haggerston’s Better Health Bakery, which employs people recovering from mental illnesses and trains them to become masters of the loaf. It uses delicious British bacon too. £5.
8 East Road, N1, the3crowns.co.uk
J&A Café
These dudes know how to slice a sandwich. The salty package is halved so that the yolk of the organic fried egg runs perfectly across the crispy, glistening meat. £5.

E Pellici’s
This gorgeous café has served the people of Bethnal Green for more than 100 years and the flavour of the plump bacon is enhanced by the Art Deco surroundings. £3.
332 Bethnal Green Road, E2
Dirty Burger
If you’re going to have an unhealthy breakfast you might as well do it properly, and that means as dirtily as possible. A soft, airy brioche bun is filled with home-smoked bacon, egg and lashings of brown sauce. It comes with unlimited tea and filter coffee to get you through any carb-induced post- brunch slumps. £4.
