Regency Cafe
About
The Regency Café, located on Regency Street in the heart of Westminster, is a quintessential London spot that blends mid‑century art deco design with hearty, traditional British fare. Since opening in 1946, it has welcomed generations of locals and tourists alike, earning a reputation for its classic egg‑and‑bacon breakfast, bacon sandwiches, and comforting pies. The café’s eclectic tilework, vintage décor, and photographs of sentimental football legends give it a nostalgic charm that has made it a popular filming location for iconic movies such as *Layer Cake*, *Rocketman*, and *Pride*, as well as television series like *Judge John Deed* and *London Spy*. Despite its rich history, the café remains a go‑to spot for budget‑friendly dining, with a relaxed atmosphere that feels like a slice of London life that refuses to go out of style.
