Breakfast in Blackheath, until 11:30

If you're looking for breakfast in Blackheath, this is the quiet end of it. The Quiet Cup serves a short, properly cooked breakfast menu every morning at 121 Lee Road — free-range eggs on thick-cut sourdough, smoked streaky bacon, smashed avocado done without ceremony, and porridge for the sensible. Everything is cooked to order until 11:30am, seven days a week, and everything is available to take away if the 7:42 from Blackheath station is calling.

We're a few minutes' walk from the village and the heath, which makes us the natural first stop for commuters, dog walkers, post-drop-off parents and anyone heading across to Greenwich Park with cold hands. Weekends run the same menu a little slower — brunch without the queue theatre.
