When it comes to 'fasts sometimes the cheapest, greasiest cafe is the best place to go.
Where are you visiting? I'm sure UK Era can come up with a recommendation, but like Geoff said, you might be able to get a good breakfast at your hotel or a nearby dingy hole in the wall.

It's bacon that comes straight from the butcher who is also the farmer so I guess so.
But I really dgaf either way
Make sure to also get a Sunday roast if you're around for one and grab a cornish pasty if you're on the go in a town somewhere.

I'll take the plant based version, hits the same notes.
each to their own
No! The beans and fried tomatoes offset the greasiness of the fried bread, just make sure it's fried in butter not oil. And this needs mushrooms, also cooked in butter. Fuck the call for garlic mushrooms, where do they think this is, the Channel Islands?
I make a full English occasionally but as I live in Australia now it's hard to get hold of black pudding and half decent sausage, they insist on eating beef sausages the heathens. I have to drive an hour and a half to get proper ones made from British pork. Saying that whenever I have a BBQ the Aussies all swarm to the good pork ones, they know deep down what's best.
The meat version does taste better, but you know health and stuff.

As discussed above will probably have coffee. Partly because I have a stove top kettle and the stove will be busy.
I will have tea AT SOME POINT so don't worry

Thinking about it, I don't believe I've ever had a cup of tea with an English breakfast. It's always been black coffee.
Call me a philistine, but I've kind of gone off tea in general over the last few years. There are still occasions where nothing else will quite hit the spot, but I'm probably down to drinking a tea a week at most. And it's usually Earl Grey.
Out of curiosity, what are the plant substitutes on the plate?I'll take the plant based version, hits the same notes.
I give you that, you British have amazing breakfast though it's not a legit contender because it's certainly not healthy to eat like this every morning. Still great once in a while.
Good thread upholding the finest of British traditions, I posit that you submit this thread to the Queen.
Actually I take it all back and will be reporting you to the authorities.

It's from Google, but I'm guessing the eggs are tofu scramble, meat free sausages (usually made soya, mushrooms etc)
On the side it looks like falafels on top of houmus which would be odd on a breakfast, I usually just have toast baked beans, fried tomato and fried mushrooms and has towns for my meat free fry up, even that combo is pretty great.
I used to live five minutes away from an Irish bakery that had a full breakfast on a fresh baked roll. Sausage, bacon, white pudding, black pudding, tomato, and two runny fried eggs. I miss that.
Could never get into baked beans, even spending my whole life in the Boston area. Would I be crucified if I were in England and got a full breakfast but asked for no beans?

Nah, you can customise as you see fit.
Arguably beans are not a core item anyway.
The core is toast, sausage, bacon, eggs.
ewwww, plant based Mushrooms, Tomatoes and Beans.I'll take the plant based version, hits the same notes.
Just bear in mind that quality of venue does not necessarily correlate with quality of full English breakfast. Sometimes the cheapest, grimiest, most scaffolder filled establishment will serve you the finest English breakfast you'll eat and it'll cost £5.
Beware pretension when it comes to the full english.

This is one of those things where you can easily make it at home. There is no real secret to cooking an English breakfast that only English(Scottish/Irish/Welsh/Ulster) people are privy to. You just cook it all up and chuck on a plate. I suppose pork sausages and back bacon maybe hard to find in some areas?
I've heard the beans here in the UK are different from what you get in America, some people say ours are not as sweet as yours, so it might be worth trying them at least.
I'm taking my first trip to the UK in a couple months and looking forward to trying this breakfast.
