Its a drink in Canada tdat is basically an earl grey tea latte with copious amounts of foam. To be fair they are pretty good, but theyre more like a chai latte but extra OTTea than a regular tea
Canadians often think the uk has loads of fancy teas when theres actually more selections in most Canadian supermarkets. They dont realise most drink bog standard breakfast teas here
London fog is really not a common drink in the UK. I’m sure there’s somewhere you can get it, but if you think it’s a speciality of London you’re barking up the wrong tree.
London Fog isn't a British drink, it's Canadian. The name is entirely meaningless according to the original creator of it. You'll be hard pressed to find it in any part of the UK. Croissants you can find anywhere.
Far be it from a Brit to complain about this sort of thing, but if the 2 main reasons you're visiting London are French and Italian/American/Canadian then maybe you should go elsewhere.
Fortnum and Mason for Earl Grey Tea, and they probably do a decent croissant. But no one will have the foggiest what you're talking about when it comes to the 'London fog' thingy.
Same as the rest, I'd never heard of a London fog latte, but it just sounds like an Americanised earl grey? If you want a proper earl grey tea, you can find those at most places and tea shops, but it definitely won't have syrup/cream whatever other things Starbucks over there might add. You could try a high tea to get that hot drink + snack experience you want, while being more of an 'authentic' British thing?
Looking into it though, it seems to be on the tea menu here: [https://www.thewrencoffee.com/](https://www.thewrencoffee.com/)
And they do croissants too!
Go to EL&N on Brompton or Aubaine on Brompton Cross & just have a pot of tea & people watch. I’m sure the chaps at Aubaine would make you a pot of frothed milk to perch on your Earl Grey as they’re fab, they’re always happy to rustle up an affogato for me. & yes, they do croissants but only in the morning.
What is a London fog drink? I'm born londoner and have lived majority of my life here except University plus a few years working elsewhere. All I can think of with London fog is Madmen.
I really enjoy the croissants at caravan. Surprisingly complex butter taste, great texture, not dry at all. I'm sure there's plenty of other bakeries that do better croissants, but I'm not sure there are many places you could get a better on croissant and a better coffee.
The other place is Origin, specifically the Southwark one. Maybe the best coffee drinks in London (imo), the pastries look really good too.
They do London Fogs at Close Up Cinema (it's a cafe/bar space as well) off Brick Lane, and I think they usually have pastries in the morning too. I'm sure other places do also sell London Fogs in the same way that they sell margaritas and cappuccinos which are also not British, but that's the one I know.

I'm not sure a London Fog is particularly well known in the UK, certainly nothing I've seen on menus before!
go to paris instead. Neither of those things are even british lol
