THE ROOFTOP CAFE

Eggs from a height

28 London Bridge Street SE1 9SG, 020 3102 3770, @ExchangeLDN

In a Sentence
Panoramic views with a side of eggs – this is London Bridge’s soon-to-be worst kept secret.

Vibe
Laid back, colourful and bright, this is a dining room made for breakfast (though we suspect dinner is equally charming). We especially liked the bustling, open kitchen, which makes you feel like you’re in mum’s kitchen.

Flavours
Head chef Magnus Reid (of Hackney Pearl and previously St John) channels the simplicity of his alma mater when it comes to breakfast. The fluffy eggs and dry cured bacon are pure, unadulterated goodness.

Top Tip
Bag a window seat and you’re laughing. They’re currently building a greenhouse on the terrace for late summer nights.

Highlight
Avocado, chili and lemon on toast. It’s our new favourite AM staple.
