When I used to work night shifts I loved going into Spoons and having a few beers in the morning. The horror on people's faces was wonderful.
Washed down with a pot of Quaker Oat-so-simple.
Spoons.
I can't believe that anyone who knows about the existence of Wetherspoons, and what to expect there, would actually be asking for recommendations for somewhere to eat in a named destination. Come on, who on earth would come all the way to the UK to eat out in Wetherspoons? (Apart from those saddos who think a pie in a tin is real food.)
+Their Eggs Benedict isn't that good. However, if you're in a Spoons after a night ride, their cheap beer at 9am slips down a treat.
Enjoy.
Safe, no windows? I do sometimes wonder about you. There are loads of hotels in London and deals. You could stay much more centrally but not the centre and use public transport real easy and your travel costs are capped now, so no matter how much you use buses and trains, it won't cost more than £6.80 I think. I doubt you can do that from further out. Just use a Premier Inn or look at one of the hotel sites. I recently stayed in a 5* hotel by Tower bridge for about £65. Swimming pool, sauna, air con and oh yes, a window.
Steady on!Washed down with a pot of Quaker Oat-so-simple.
This thread reminds me of a time we popped in to a Little Chef attached to the Travelodge we had been in.
Asked for an omelette breakfast only to be told that they couldn't do any omelettes;there was a large stack of eggs on the counter.
Food I've had in 'spoons has been ok for the price but there are certainly better places to eat and yes they may be more expensive (shock, horror,rip-off britain etc, etc).
Oh and the boss of 'spoons is a bit of an arse;after shouting for brexit apparently he's now said we need immigration to keep his gaffs staffed.

Oh and drinks might go up too
not entirely sure what you mean salty. "destination" in a certain sense always makes me think of places folk can brag about on facebookit sinks my heart when this is announced as the destination.
Good price, think I know where you mean. I bet the in-house beer at the end of the day was pretty crap though. Did you use the swimming pool, sauna, in-house manicurist? Rooms with no windows? Some of those are I think used by folk for sexual assignations*, so windows not so important unless one of the parties has exhibitionist tendencies, wants to do the business in a ground floor room with the curtains open or display themselves to London inner suburbs. I do know the odd London hotel, pretty mainstream/"respectable" which offers rooms in the afternoon for slots of three hours or so for businessfolk who want to "relax/work" between meetings.Safe, no windows?

I'm not sure I want to know which establishments in London you are familiar with!Good price, think I know where you mean. I bet the in-house beer at the end of the day was pretty crap though.

This has strayed a bit from breakfast in Cambridge but the OP was sorted - this is the way threads go, and I was picking up on stuff in your post.
Sweet dreams, with or without windows
