Currently in London on vacation, can confirm that most of the items served to me in the full English breakfast I had were barely cooked, the corned beef was cold out of a can. Do not recommend.
Corned beef? What in Gods name would that be doing in a Full English?
A proper Full English is served scalding hot on a plate that’s nearly glowing red. The egg is fried and has brown crispy bits, the bacon fat is browned but the meat is tender and the sausages are anything between brown and dark brown. The beans, well, if you aren’t mad you ask for it without those because they’re disgusting. The bread should be either toasted & buttered or fried in the bacon fat.
Deranged people will add HP sauce or, heaven forbid, tomato ketchup, but it is best to offer such people pity and support in the hope that they will one day recover.
I’m from the countryside in north of England and have lived in London at points for many years of my life. London is generally the worst for proper British food, in my experience. The best fry ups, fish and chips and all that you’re gunna get is in small towns or villages where the place itself is bare bones and no frills. Far cheaper too
That said, I’ll of course take most other cuisine over our own. I do like foods that require a good amount of seasoning and some actual spice. Our cuisine is really helped by those too as I see it. But most people here seem to draw the line at black pepper, sadly

Eww, out of the can?
Corned beef? Sounds like they were playing a trick on the tourist.
Monty Python has led me to expect Spam.
“Baked beans are off.” “Could I have Spam instead…”

Wtf? Corned beef? Are you in one of the American cities that are named London rather than the capital of the uk?
Nah, not enough high fructose corn syrup.
I wish, the chip shops on the other hand have been great.
Chip shops in London are shit. Most don’t even bother to remove the skin and bones, and the batter is wet. It’s like they’re doing it on purpose.
Lol did you accidentally search for something like ‘where to get the worst English breakfast in London’?
Did you get it from a fancy place or a greasy spoon?
My sister who lives in London took us to The Full Monty Cafe for the meal.
That’s a shame, that place looks good!
