I happened upon Beppe's also while it was being hidden during a filming at St. Bart's across the street. It was the only place opened at 7:30am on a Friday, and I'm glad I found it because the high street sucks around the St. Paul's area. I was there to watch Sherlock being filmed, and went in to get a hot tea and breakfast. I ordered two Earl Grays and a bacon/egg sandwich, which came out to be about 5 quid? While I was waiting for my food, I was politely trying not to gawk at the Sherlock producers sitting at the booths reading over the day's script on their iPad. Back to the food: they make a GREAT and STRONG cuppa - I haven't had another cup that good since and sometimes I find myself dreaming about it. I wish I knew their secret - it's not in the time of brewing or the tea leaves, maybe they put something awesome in the water. At any rate, the tea smelled and tasted amazing and kept me fortified for four hours. The sandwich was fantastic - tons of bacon on very thick toast, lots of oil, and it was gigantic. My friend and I split it, and each half alone was the size of a normal sandwich. We were stuffed way past lunch time. Unfortunately, Beppe's closes after lunch hours and on weekends, so when we returned the next day to watch more filming it wasn't opened. We were sorely disappointed, because we were talking about getting eight more cups of that tea! And on that London trip, we were staying in the Bank/Monument area, and we didn't find another place that made a better cuppa in the walk from our hotel to St. Paul's. Oh Beppe's! I will come and have another cuppa even if I'm not staying nearby or stalking the Cumberbatch! Not even anything in Smithfield Market was better! read more
