Monday morning work meetings are never fun. If you’re like us, you’ll spend 60% of your time yawning, 30% concentrating on your grumbling stomach and 10%, if you’re lucky, actually writing notes. That’s why we’re huge advocates on the breakfast meeting. We’re talking full English brekkies, eggs royale and avo on toast a’plenty with a few grease marks on your meeting notes. Here’s 18 spots perfect for fulfilling your breakfast meeting dreams.

If it’s luxury you’re after, look no further than Mortimer House. Set in the beating heart of Fitzrovia, Mortimer House is bursting with meeting rooms, event spaces and team offices set alongside homely furnishings.
