Caravan Fitzrovia

Walk into Caravan Fitzrovia and you'll immediately get why this place has such devoted regulars. It's the kind of restaurant that does breakfast properly—think smashed avocado on sourdough that doesn't feel like a cliché, alongside proper espresso drinks made by people who actually care. The space itself is unpretentious but thoughtfully done, with a buzzy energy that works whether you're here solo with a laptop or catching up with mates over lunch. The menu shifts seasonally and they're not afraid to be a bit playful with their cooking, but it never tips into gimmicky. Service strikes that sweet spot between attentive and laid-back. Prices are fair for the area—you're looking at around £8-12 for breakfast, £14-18 for mains—and the quality justifies every penny.
