We arrived in London early in the morning and needed to kill some time before we could get into our Airbnb. This place was around the block from where we going to stay.  The staff was very attentive and our food was delicious.  We had a side of breakfast sausage and shared an offering for people who didn't want pancakes.  It had a polenta corn "pancake" with guacamole, arugula and preserved lemon.  Delicious!  We also enjoyed a very tasty cappuccino and an American coffee.  There was a larger group at the table beside us.  They loved their pancake dishes.  The bacon looked fantastic.....next time.  

Oh, no!  I forgot to take a photo.

A small restaurant on a side alleyway with limited seating inside and alfresco seating outside. I'm not even a pancake super fan, but had to try the Royal. It was two slightly sour buttermilk pancakes, streaky bacon, two deep orange colored yolk poached eggs, tarragon, asparagus and I had the Hollandaise on the side.

The service was fine, only because my Earl Grey tea took a while to arrive. But I won't hold it against them for this review.

Definitely worth a try!

Pro-tip: avoid the gimmicky specialty pancakes and you should be fine. Remember, sometimes Less is more . 

Ordered a specialty 'sweet pancake.' I stick to my rule of never ordering pancakes with chocolate or Nutella, so I ordered the Recovery pancakes. Recovery pancake is a combination of natures granola snacks, banana and pancake rolled into one.

Served with two pancakes, for the price , I was expecting at least three.

But that wasn't the issue. The issue was the granola almond and apricot bits were too overpowering, I found my self scraping it off, hoping I can maybe just taste the plain buttermilk pancakes dressed up. However, even the pancakes wrapped around an internal banana, so there was no escaping the sweetened dish.

It wasn't bad, but it was too top-heavy for my liking.

Its always a good idea to Judge a pizza on plain cheese , just like it's proper to judge a pancake on plain buttermilk

We stopped by as this was quite close to our hotel. It wasn't busy at all, so we got a seat quickly and ordered some drinks. I got a margarita, served with lukewarm with a few pieces of ice. I have to assume it was not made fresh or it was shaken without ice? Either way, simply not how cocktails are served, had to ask twice for more ice. 
I got the simple cakes plus a breakfast sausage and corn fritter. Sausage was very yum, but pancakes were a bit dry, and not as fluffy as I am used to. My partner got a sweet pancake choice with a bunch of fruit on top he enjoyed though. So some fruit and whipped cream can make any better.

A great breakfast spot that serves a hearty British breakfast. I'm not use to baked beans and grilled tomatoes for breakfast, but it all works together. Their pancakes are quite fluffy yet still have some density to them.

This was a great find! A family member has allergies to both wheat and egg, but was able to enjoy a wonderful pancake breakfast here. Pancakes were delicious and fluffy!

Our first (and only) taste of a an "English Breakfast" and it was.....just okay. Definitely better than I expected but still not great. Traditional English Breakfast isn't for me. I don't know if it's this restaurant specifically or just in general  ‍

The other options on the menu are good, though! I ordered  the Pulled BBQ Chicken and I have zero complaints. 

When I come back to London I will definitely check this place out again...I'll just avoid the English Breakfast lol

This place was adorable! We came here in May while on vacation and the breakfast was delicious. I had an amazing dirty chia latte and it was great, a little sweet and spicy. The breakfast was pretty big and reasonably priced. The location was cute and tucked in, it wasn't too busy on the day we went. They had outdoor seating which was great for the nice day we went.

The vegetarian English breakfast was delicious, my favorite breakfast I've had in London by far. The service was also wonderful. Friendly and quick. Clean bathrooms. I wish I could bring this place home with me.

We had a good time at WTPA. My Dutch Baby was especially good (cheddar, goats cheese, parmesan crisps,roasted thyme & rosemary. Rocket, kale,
red onion & fennel salad, lemon & olive oil dressing). Much lighter and fluffier than I had anticipated. Pair it with an almond-maple old fashioned, and you've really got something.
