Towpath operates on the towpath of the Regent's Canal in Hackney, open from early spring to late autumn, serving food and coffee from a minimal counter facing the water. The model is simple and serious: seasonal produce, bread from a local bakery, coffee from a considered supplier. There are no reservations, no website in the conventional sense, and no indoor seating — all tables face the canal. The combination of the water, the narrowboats passing at intervals, and the particular quality of east London morning light makes this one of the more atmospherically correct places to have breakfast in the city. Closed in winter; worth planning a London trip around in warmer months.
