The Electric Cafe — Restaurant in London

If I had not taken the bus I would not have spotted this must try place for breakfast.

The Electric Cafe has this old charm as it has been here since the 1920s when it used to be called The Electric Rooms.

Went here another day purposely to try their fry ups.

I took the train to Tulse Hill as it would be quicker than the bus but went the wrong way after I got out the station which took me some time getting there.

Finally got there and was greeted by a really friendly guy behind the counter.

As you can imagine, an English breakfast is everything so it took me a while to decide what to order.

In the end, I had mushrooms, beans, black pudding, egg, bacon, chips and bubble.

Normally I don't order chips but the chips here are hand cut.

The breakfast was just flawless especially the fried egg which was silky, every element was good.

It turns out that they use St Nichols Baked beans which are smaller in size and not as sweet as the other brands so I loved it.

The decor at The Electric Cafe will take you back in time and I love the window veils at the front.

Strangely, this is a much raved about fry up featured on most London guides yet there are not many reviews on this cafe.

Overall, this place is a must go if you are in the area with...

Been meaning to try this cafe out for months and finally got the chance on Saturday morning.

From the outside it looks very old school. And I mean VERY old school. And that doesn't change when you step inside. It's like being transported back to the 60s or 70s! The whole vibe of the place is original greasy spoon cafe - I love it!

It's obvious a very popular cafe because most of the tables were already taken. Then main menu is on top of the counter with an additional breakfast menu on the wall.

Both myself and my friend ordered English breakfasts. Mine came with an order of fried bread which I've not seen in many cafes! Yum yum!

You could tell that the food they serve is quality ingredients as the sausages were Cumberland rather than cheap low meat content sausages.

The staff were very kind and friendly. I believe there are only 3 running the whole place!

All in all a wonderful experience and easily my favourite cafe in the area. Not only for the lovely food, but the great ambience and friendly staff.

Thank you Electric cafe! I...

This must be taken into control of English Heritage or protected by the Arts Council. Its Rock-n-Roll iconic. I felt sure Chuck Berry wouid arrive. The place is the most filmed cafe in the country, used for adverts as well as major film location. I can see why it was the hangout for stars ranging from the late David Boughey to very present Adelle. Why it's not a listed building, yet still so authentic isn't known, it's the real McCoy way better then the Hard Rock.They don't sell T-Shirts but should, it's pure Route 66 in London. Get their before it gets Disneyfied. Can't be long before a big chain buy & replicate it worldwide. Go whilst it's a secret gem. It won't stay 100% genuine for much longer, it gets write ups won't be long before British Museum take it into curation as it represents British Rock-n-Roll like no other Caffe. Beyond brilliant. Check out the Formica tabke Lonnie Doniggon was photographed at. The WHO...
