The Cinnamon Club (London)

It’s time to write some articles about the restaurants that we visited during our Germany trip this spring. We spent a total of 10 days in Europe, and we spent half a day in London during transit. When we arrived in London, it was around 7am in the morning. We researched a place that serves breakfast near the famous Westminster Abbey. When we went to London in 2005, we did not go inside the Westminster Abbey because of a long line of people, and so we want to have a second chance to visit it. However, the funny thing is that we once again decided not to enter into the church because of the steep admission price.

The Cinnamon Club is located inside of the Old Westminster Library. The building used to be a library, and the owners kept the décor as such. In of the dining room, there are bookshelves and simple paintings. They use simple white linen on the tables, matched with heavy black chairs. After a 6 hour flight, we were pretty tired and so we took our time to enjoy some English breakfast.





We were started off with some bread with butter and strawberry jam. The jam is pretty rich and sweet in flavor.



For my breakfast, I have a plate of assorted fruits and a plate of assorted pastries with ham and cheese. The pastries are quite cold and would be much tastier if served warm. The cheese is a little too hard for my taste. My husband ordered a Full English Breakfast, which is served with two sunny side up eggs, a baked tomato, a piece of bacon, mushroom, and some sausages. It is a good nutritious breakfast but there is nothing special about the taste of the food.





Overall, the food is nothing spectacular. However, it is a famous breakfast place because of the environment. We felt really comfortable sitting down and enjoying some breakfast after a long flight.
