  “I had just arrived in London via Saint Pancras and was stretching my legs along Euston Rd and stumbled on it! Not planned (honest) Naturally, once I walked by, I had to have a full English. The woman was great, brought out my plate and coffee. The place was not busy but everyone coming in and out seems to enjoy the place. I haven't eaten a breakfast like this in a long time, it lasted me nearly all day! Worth stopping by if you will be in the area”

  “Just an amazing sudden dining experience; glanced at the menu while I was walking by, saw avocado on toast option (price too reasonable-how often can you say that), and I popped in. Have such an engaging conversation with the owner as he …”

  “My wife and I were big fans of Sherlock so we were super excited to visit this place. The food was very much ok.. it made my wife sick and the staff is quite a buzz kill. If you are coming up here just to see the Sherlock flat I wouldn't recommend stopping to eat here.”

  “I've just had a fantastic breakfast at this lovely little cafe, if your in or around Euston train station I would highly recommend popping inside for some food, I was greeted with a lovely big smile, very good prices and the food was delicious- the eggs looked that good I had to cut into the first before I took picture. I will be coming in again on my travels, very good value for money. Thankyou from Liverpool👍”

  “A place for Sherlock fans - this local cafe is decorated with pictures that documents the production days. This cozy little cafe serves mainly locals and provides a hearty and filling breakfast. Service was efficient and great value.”

  “The salmon-avocado sandwich was delicious. The place was simple and a bit crowded, and the service wasn’t very friendly.”

  “Started working nearby so thought I would check out this place. It’s a family run cafe. It was lunchtime on a Tuesday and was pretty busy so shows they must be doing good things. They gave me a menu of sandwich like things and I went for the smoked salmon and cream cheese baguette. They didn’t have any baguette left so we all agreed on a large white bap. It £8.50 which is on the high end but there was plenty of salmon. It tasted great and at the end of it the whole thing felt like the size of a big lunch so I was pleased and felt it was good value. I can see myself going back to try other things and to potentially eat in as well!”

  “Yes, this is THE Speedy's — the iconic café right next to Sherlock and Watson's house! -) Of course, I mean the one from the BBC-series Sherlock. Right nearby is the entrance to "that very house" where the show's characters lived. Although these days the “221B” number has been removed and replaced with a plaque stating that an Italian patriot once lived here. The café itself is very nice and cozy - perhaps six tables inside, plus two outside. The menu is quite modest and limited (it used to be much larger, as you can see online). The walls are decorated with film stills and photos of the owner with the actors. The owner was there during my visit, but he seemed busy and concerned, so I didn’t want to bother him. I should note that there are always people here. You can get a seat, but patrons constantly come and go. Judging by the opening hours (Speedy’s is open from 6:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays), the café still primarily serves local residents, not tourists. On the other hand, there are certainly fewer tourists now — there are many more TV shows, and Sherlock is mentioned less often… Speedy’s offers excellent service. The waiter told me how he was there during filming (having worked here his whole life) and was generally very friendly and cheerful. The food here is unpretentious - very simple, yet delicious. The bacon is absolutely outstanding. English tea is served in a large cup with milk already added -) But then again, people don't come here for culinary wonders; they come to see where one of the best TV series was filmed. You can reach Speedy’s by metro; the nearest station is Euston Square. As for prices, they’re remarkably low. Which is another reason to love Speedy's -) A tasty café, a place of interest for any cinephile, and very, very reasonable prices.”
