    Unfortunately you made the normal tourist mistake here... And got served a pretty awful looking Full English Breakfast... You should always eat where the locals eat... And never just select the nearest cafe... Even a supermarket Full English Breakfast would've been better than the one you had... Plus it would've been about half the price too... Check out food review videos if you want to find the best places to have a Full English Breakfast my friend... Places like... Terry's Cafe... E. Pellicci... Regency Cafe... Pavilion Cafe... These are the places where locals will go to have a Full English Breakfast... Not these awful tourist trap cafes... Also... If ever you can't find anywhere to sit down and eat in future... Here's a top tip... Find an empty bus stop shelter... Which will usually have seating inside... And use that to sit down and eat... If it becomes crowded... You can always walk along to the next bus stop... They'll be plenty of them scattered all over London my friend... All the best... Cheers mate.

    That was the worst looking English breakfast I’ve ever seen, definitely not a traditional one !
    The vinegar is only supposed to go on the chips, optional on the fish. Poppies is twice the price of a normal fish and chips because it’s a high end version.

    Poppies is a fancy fish and chips place and pretty famous, so they charge a premium. There is a lot of the high end ones though which are more pricey as opposed to a chippy thats on a random street. A few of the known fancy fish and chip places in London are - "Hobson`s Fish & Chips", "Golden Union", "Oliver's Fish & Chips" , and for something fancy and highly recommended "North Sea Fish Restaurant"

    If you want a high quality roast dinner by the way, theres tons of places. "The Pig and Butcher" I highly recommend. Ideally go on a Sunday for the best experience , they have a different menu then. And I'd probably make a reservation just to be on the safe side. Also try their sticky toffee pudding 😋 they do great scotch eggs too made with black pudding

    You went to a "Poppies Fish & Chip" shop, a VERY expensive chain, ALL branches are located in the biggest 'tourist trap' areas in London !!! I realise you didn't know... BUT you need to do a bit more planning and research. And that 'breakfast' was NOT a Full English by any stretch of the imagination... Just saying! EDIT: Since reaching the the part were you went, YOU are staying in one of the most expensive areas of London (near Shepherd's Market W1 - WOW!). No wonder you got 'stung' on the price and for what you got 'as breakfast'... But WHY didn't you check the menu PRICES FIRST before going in? Absolute insanity, and yes you are the sort of 'tourist' they love... 😋😂😂😂 Just saying!🙄

Even Ikea Canada has fish and chips in their mini cafeteria. 2) The UK isn't the only place in the world that deep frys food. Deep fried fish is fairly common in number of places. Deep fried potatoes, that is French fries or chips or pomme frites... is like available pretty much anywhere on the planet.
