4 Reasons Brick Lane's Beigel Bake Is a London Icon

London's legendary 24-hour beigel bakery on Brick Lane — here's why the queues never stop.

Open 24 hours, every single day

Since 1974, Beigel Bake has barely closed its doors — feeding night-shift workers, clubbers and early risers around the clock.

The legendary salt beef beigel

Hot salt beef piled into a chewy beigel with mustard and pickles — the order that made this Brick Lane counter famous.

Salmon and cream cheese, done right

A London classic: generous smoked salmon and smooth cream cheese in a freshly baked beigel.

Baked fresh through the night

Thousands of beigels are boiled then baked on site every day — there's always a hot batch coming out of the oven.
