Brick Lane Bagel Shop E1

Brick Lane is home to two of London’s most beloved bagel institutions: Beigel Shop and Beigel Bake. These iconic bakeries have been delighting locals and visitors for decades with their fresh, hand-rolled bagels and timeless charm. Both shops are celebrated for their rich history, authentic recipes, and, of course, their famously delicious salt beef bagels.

• Beigel Shop, with its bright yellow storefront, is the older of the two and often referred to as the “Original Brick Lane Beigel Shop.” It has been serving its mouthwatering bagels since 1855, offering a mix of tradition and innovation that keeps customers coming back.
• Beigel Bake, just a few doors down, is renowned for its 24/7 service, making it a favorite late-night stop for hungry Londoners. Since opening in 1974, it has become a cultural landmark, attracting food lovers from all over the world.

Both shops are celebrated for their simple, no-fuss approach to bagel making, sticking to traditional methods that result in perfectly chewy, golden bagels. Whether you’re a fan of classic salt beef, cream cheese, or smoked salmon, the bagels from these legendary establishments are a must-try for anyone exploring London.

These illustrations capture the spirit of Brick Lane’s vibrant atmosphere and pay homage to the legacy of two shops that have become so much more than just bakeries—they’re an integral part of London’s cultural fabric.
