Brick lane beigel bake never closes. Salt beef sandwich at 3am hits completely different. Queue moves fast even when it wraps around hanbury street.

Vq restaurants stay open 24/7 - proper sit-down meals not just late night snacks. Locations at 9 great russell street bloomsbury and 325 king's road chelsea. Duck & waffle on the 40th floor of 110 bishopsgate serves until 2am most nights with proper city views.

Note: beigel bake basic salt beef is £4, loaded versions with extras run £7-8. Much better value than £15 room service at premier inn aldgate.
