1. Enjoy the breakfast of British champions
For a hearty breakfast, head to Regency Café. The art deco-style British cafe in Regency Street first opened in 1946 and has been used as a filming location for British movies such as Layer Cake and the Elton John musical fantasy Rocketman. Now considered something of an institution, Regency offers the quintessential full English fry-up complete with bacon, eggs, beans, hash browns, toast, and black pudding.
