London's take on the American diner leans hard on the New York deli end of the tradition, built around the bagel rather than the burger booth. Brick Lane is the spiritual home of that strand: Beigel Bake in Shoreditch and Spitalfields has run around the clock for decades, its salt-beef bagel the city's defining late-night counter order.
