The beloved Westminster greasy spoon is known for its art-deco style, traditional full-English breakfasts and rapid service.

First opened in 1946, the Regency Cafe has featured in a slew of media campaigns films and TV shows, including Layer Cake, Rocketman and even a shoot for Vogue.

Crucially, as prices rise in London and new “upmarket” cafes dominate the high streets, the Regency Cafe has managed to keep its identity and its low prices.

A classic cooked breakfast, bacon, sausages a fried egg, tomatoes, toast and a cup of tea, will set you back less than £10.

The location has been owned by Italian duo Antonio Perotti and Gino Schiavetta since 1986 with the Rightmove listing saying a purchase “presents a fantastic opportunity to take over a well-established, iconic establishment”.

A price of £170,000 seems shockingly low for Westminster - where houses cost £1.6million on average, according to Rightmove.

It remains to be seen who will make a bid worthy of the iconic cafe, but fans will be hoping it can retain its beloved identity in the years to come.
