Beigel Bake – the white shopfront, not to be confused with the yellow-fronted Beigel Shop two doors down – is an East London institution. Opened in 1979, their beigels aren’t all about the tourist hype, so yes this is worth braving the queue for. Salt beef, mustard and gherkins, what’s not to like? The salmon and cream cheese ones are also top and you can buy plain beigels to take home too. And being open 24 hours, it’s the perfect place for those late night munchies.
