    You'll be lucky. Last time I had a brekkie in Kensington it cost me £9.50 and was the size of a child's dinner. That was about 6 years ago

    Not exactly greasy but Le Pain Quotidien in Young Street will do you a nice "Full Belgian".

    It might be an idea to use Premier inn facilities if there's one there, they normally charge about £9 but you can eat as much as you like.

    Not great by a long shot but probably the closest you'll get to a greasy spoon in that neck of the woods.

    Kensington is a place for those that like avocado on toast with a selection of leaves and a side of pretentiousness.

    Airbnb place so won't know exact address for a while. Got this one cause it has good link to Heathrow, reasonably central, cheap, and comes with a piano... I realize good fry up may be a bridge too far. It's near West Kensington tube according to the blurb...

    It's okay. You wont get a decent fry up in there, though.

    Thanks everyone, will give ffiona a go but may have to bite the bullet and journey east. Better than biting lettuce...

    If you're prepared to jump on the tube I'd recommend The Regency (nr St James Park tube) - just ignore the Spurs memorabilia!

    Near in that it's the nearest tube station. Just a walk thru Strutton Ground and onto Horse ferry Road - 8 mins if that

    Heard about the Regency one, and the longer the walk, the shorter the guilt, the wider the plate.
    Thanks for that
