The Full Monty

You'll find yourself on Globe Road in Bethnal Green, where The Full Monty sits among the neighbourhood's mix of independent shops and creative types. Walk in and there's an unpretentious warmth to the place—the kind of café that gets busy because people actually want to be there, not because it's fashionable. The menu's straightforward and done well: full English breakfasts that don't mess about, good coffee, and the sort of lunch food that makes you want to linger over a second cup. It's the type of spot where locals prop up at the counter and regulars get a knowing nod from staff.
