I've come here twice now- in March 2023 and in May 2024, and it has been delicious both times. I got the vegetarian full english breakfast, which is so good and hearty, especially if you've got a full day of walking and sightseeing ahead of you. My favorite parts were the bubble and squeak- something I'd never even heard of before- and the buttery whole-grain toast with beans. The indulgent buttery taste of the toast goes so well with the slight acidity of the beans, which are much less sweet than the ones we have in the states. I also appreciate that they have a regular, veggie, and vegan option for this classic dish- my family has one of each. The overall vibe is cozy and eclectic, but definitely close quarters, and the service was very polite. The only negative I've heard was that my friend's Oreo pancakes weren't very good- but I did not try them to confirm ?

Very nice staff and good prices considering we're in London. I got a pulled pork sandwich which came less hot than I would've liked however the wait wasn't long and it tasted very good. The lemonade I got was the perfect amount of sour and sweet. Definitely recommend.

Really cute little diner-style restaurant in London. We stopped in really early in the morning since our sleep cycles were messed up from jetlag and it was one of the only things open. The food was excellent and the portions were hearty. We ordered two of the Mighty English Breakfast and everything on the plate was delicious. Offers free wifi, great service. They serve water by the bottle rather than tap.

My boyfriend and I were up late and noticed most restaurants were already closed by 9 PM (only the bars were opened). We opted to try this place out and it was definitely a good option knowing that there wasn't much of anything else around. He had a burger with fries and I had their shepherd's pie (highly recommend). It's a bit noisy and it's cramped. Our service just seemed annoyed with everyone so that wasn't great. Otherwise, the food was good for the price.

We had a great time at Polo, and not insignificantly, it was literally our only option at around midnight one London Monday night. The hot dogs(and probably many other menu items) are made in advance, so adjust your expectations accordingly. The fish and chips were surprisingly good, but the pancakes were abysmal- don't. Overall, fair enough for a 24-hour eat/drink place.

This is one of few places in London where you can get drinks and food round the clock. The location is right in front Liverpool Street Station. I visited this place twice during my recent stay in East London. I tried their drinks, coffee and cheesy fries. Prices here are acceptable. Staff is not enthusiastic but they don?t make you feel unwelcome as well. It can be visited for late night hours when everything closes. Other than that not the best but could be worse.

This place is grossly overpriced. The staff are rude and the food is awful. Please don't fall into this tourist trap. The only reason it gets any business is because it's opposite liverpool street station. It's so bad. Please save your money and go elsewhere or just wait until the morning.

Booked for bottomless brunch. Really good vegan breakfast, lots of variety including spinach, falafel, mushrooms, no fake meat. Relaxed atmosphere, can have celebration or breakfast or both. Staff friendly and helpful, bottomless prosecco really bottomless, glass was literally never empty and of course the pancakes are good. Downsides - Toilets are upstairs, and ate and drank too much, fell asleep during show ?.

Caffs in London?s modern history are the democratic meeting space for people from all walks of life. And Polo upholds this as they have been doing since opening in the 50s. Absolute stormer of a sausage and egg butty (with lashings of brown sauce - IYKYK). Excellent cappuccino. And stunning service from the one and only Millie. No. I wasn?t paid to write this. It?s just that good. Thanks as always, Team Polo. Thanks for providing our home away from home, 24/7.

This place saved us after another restaurant wouldn't let us in because we weren't dressed "smart casual," which honestly, still not sure what that means. This was the first English food after a long flight, and it was pretty good! Never had an English breakfast before, and this was a good first try!

Lovely place to grab a quick bite at any time. Came here at 7:30 am and it wasn?t overly busy. From the outside it looks small but there are plenty of tables upstairs and down. We were served by Renaye and Edward, they were both lovely and very considerate. We both had two breakfasts and I was able to swap out items I wasn?t keen on for items I preferred. This was a great touch to their cafe, allowing customers to order what they wanted even if it wasn?t exactly the same as what the menu offered. Thank you everyone! It was a great way to start a busy day in London!Parking: No parking but its opposite the tube station

Must of been an off day! Went for bottomless brunch with family, thinking it would be easier with costs- we were not shown to a table even though it was booked , handed non brunch menus, had to ask twice how the BB (bottomless brunch) worked. Were left sitting without food or drink for about 20 mins- then asked our food orders - still no drinks ( whole point of a BB!) waited another 5-10 mins - still no sign of a drink or waiting staff ? we got up and left ? sorry but it was a sad experience which left me embarrassed as I had booked fit my family.

We had a great brunch the wife and I. We absolutely love this place, it is so cosy and they prepare such lovely food in no time. My American breakfast was delicious and generous and my milkshake was great too. They got great cakes also" We will be back!

Couldn?t have picked a better spot to meet up for lunch in Fenchurch Street, we were a mixtures of ages from 80 to 8 and the team couldn?t have made us feel more welcome. Food was SO good, kids loved the huge burgers, Mac and cheese was divine. Birthday stack pancakes and birthday music made the lunch really special. All the kids have decided they want to celebrate their birthdays there and we?ll definitely go back. Highly recommend.
