A ‘Full English’ on the First Morning in London

Endel Street, London

Time for a ‘Full English’ breakfast

I slept well last night after being out at a drinks party at a friend’s flat over in Marylebone until 1:30 AM.

What jet lag?

I find myself seated at a quaint sidewalk café nestled just off Covent Garden, after having indulged in a delightful full-English breakfast at The Old Express. This charming eatery is located in the tucked-away market of The Shepherds Market, just off Park Lane in Mayfair. Despite the expectation of a pre-tourist season lull, the streets are teeming with shoppers and an assorted array of sightseers. It’s truly remarkable to take in the rich tapestry of languages that fills the air as I wander through the bustling city.

Tonight, the first event of ‘Churchill’s England’ and invited is the patron of The International Churchill Society, Winston and Clementine’s youngest daughter, Lady (Mary) Soames.
