Fitzbillies

You'll find yourself queuing down the pavement outside Fitzbillies most weekend mornings—that's just how it is. This isn't some Instagram-bait newcomer; it's been doing its thing since 1922, and you can taste the decades of practice in every bun. The Chelsea buns are the obsession here: sticky, generous, properly spiced with cinnamon, the kind of thing you tell yourself you'll share but absolutely won't. The coffee's proper too, which matters when you're wedged elbow-to-elbow with students, tourists, and locals who've been coming here since they were students themselves.
