Try Dishoom’s breakfast menu: the Keema Per Eedu is a powerhouse start to the day, mixing spicy chicken with sali chips. Delicious with the breakfast laksa.

6. Eat Vegan

For those preferring a meat-free, lighter breakfast option, London is indeed bountiful. Most breakfast emporiums will offer vegan alternatives to their traditional fry-ups, and the cursory bowl of granola or jam on toast.

Head to InSpiral Lounge, overlooking Camden lock, for something more adventurous. Gluten-free panini toasties are served with fruit coulis and cashew cream; raw flax and chia seed crepes come with banana cream and dark chocolate; and you can even order a vegan “bake-up”, which includes scrambled tofu, tamari mushrooms and organic baked beans.

All the satisfaction of the fry-up, with none of the remorse.

7. Hair Of The Dog

OK. There’s no science to support the belief that drinking more alcohol helps to ease a hangover. But it does help to disguise the symptoms, and sometimes, that’s all we can hope for.

Bottomless boozy brunches have become something of a trend in London lately, so there’s more than enough choice out there, but if you’re looking for the perfect hangover cocktail, make sure you visit Hoxton’s Beagle bar. There are four Bloody Mary choices on the menu, including the Classic (chorizo-infused vodka, spices, lemon, tomato juice) and the Maria Maria (smoked garlic tequila, habanero peppers, tomato juice).

Head to: Beagle, Hoxton.

8. Protein Power

So you’ve consumed a bewildering amount of calories and sugar via your Old Fashioneds/pints/large glasses of Pinot noir the night before, and you’ve had one of those strange night’s sleep where you’re simultaneously comatose while still feeling wired.

What you need is some slow-release energy to keep you steady while you try and shake off that hangover the next day, and one of the best sources of this is protein. Guildhall’s branch of steak-mecca Hawksmoor offers up some reassuringly meaty breakfasts, including steak and eggs (using fillet or rib-eye), lobster benedict and Manx kippers with poached eggs.
