Any other recommendations in that area? Let's say Green Park, as it was forty minutes door to door this morning, very convenient.
Not Green Park but I worked for several years in Gt Peter Street, in Westminster. There used to be a big old Victorian pub called The Albert that did breakfast in the upstairs lounge. That was in the late '70s so it was quite unusual for pubs back then and poncy trendy cafes had not arrived so if I was early in the office it was either a fry-up in the greasy spoon on the corner of Strutton Ground or a proper plate in The Albert including grilled kidneys. Looking on Google maps I see the Albert is still there but totally dwarfed by all the high rise stuff on Victoria Stree. The cafe is now a 'Turkish Kitchen'/Mio's Bar & Restaurant 
won't be doing the best bread pud' I've ever eaten any more... Mr Roper said:

Early 90's - I was a young whipper snapper in the Foreign Office (not very Diplomatic however
My department was mainly FCO comms team all ex Navy/Army scallies (radio operators) So lunch/after work was mostly a liquid diet We had a XMAS week for parties - Monday morning - walk through St James Park to The Albert For a huge cooked Breakfast with copious amounts of Champagne and Tequila shots plus Rum for the lot from the Mob/Navy ..... come opening hour, we'd then stagger back across St James Park to main FCO building, get our bags, and bugger off to the Red Lion on Whitehall.
Many a time you'd see a senior officer throwing up
into a bin in St James Park.Life was a lot simpler back then ..... happy days !!

That had the potential to be a good face plate and you've ignored it. Shame on you. Secondly and not at all as though I'm petty enough to maintain a tab on these things, being high flying and powerfully built, my recent homespun smiley face efforts have received no love on here.
That leads me to suspect that it's the missed opportunity of a face that is of more appeal to the contributors on here, rather than the effort given to the execution, just to delight a fellow bunch of internet breakfast
