London's best filled bagels

Beigel, bagel, whatever your preference, just remember, if it hasn’t been boiled before baking, then it isn’t a bagel — it’s just a roll with a hole. Here are five places for filled proper bagels

Victoria Stewart10 June 2014

Carmelli

Popular with the north London Jewish contingent, this is open late most nights. Order one filled with smoked salmon or tuna.

Panzers

A St John’s Wood staple. Stay simple with smoked salmon and cream cheese on plain or poppy seed bagels.

Grodzinski

A colleague’s mother drives to north London from Ealing to get her bagel fix from one of the Grodzinski shops. Get smoked salmon with cream cheese at the Edgware branch.

Pastrami on an onion or sesame bagel is the thing to order at this Finsbury Park spot.
