Iconic London cafe with ‘best fry up in the UK’ is up for sale for £170,000

An iconic London cafe which has served the city’s ‘best fry ups’ for nearly 80 years has been put up for sale for £170,000.

The Regency Cafe, which opened on Regency Street in 1946, has been placed on Rightmove to the shock of Londoners.

Specialising in simple fry-ups, the cafe was once voted one London’s best restaurants by visitors, with one Time Out review calling the food ‘stodgetastic’.

A classic fry up, which includes two bacon rashers, one sausage, one fried eggs, beans, toast and a cup of tea remains under £10.

Lunch dishes, which include spaghetti Bolognese, curry and fish and chips are no more than £9.

The listing on Rightmove said: ‘Renowned for its hearty and authentic English breakfasts, the cafe serves generous portions at reasonable prices.

‘The Regency Cafe has a loyal customer base, including local workers, politicians, and celebrities.

‘Due to a popular social media following, the cafe also attracts tourists looking for a traditional cafe experience.

‘The cafe has been featured in various television and film productions, adding to its iconic status.’

Since 1986, the building has been owned by Antonio Perotti and Gino Schiavetta.

Antonio’s daughter Claudia and Gino’s son Marco have since taken over the running of the establishment.

The original wall tiling is decorated with photographs of Tottenham Hotspur football players.

It has even been used as a filming location, including in Layer Cake, Brighton Rock and Pride.
