It's a takeaway bagel (or beigel) shop. It may well be the oldest one in London that's still going. It stays open all night - beware of queues when the clubs are kicking out - and it'll sell you bagels filled with pretty much anything you might want. Apparently the competition two doors down has better sausage rolls, but you can't beat the hot salt beef sandwich after a long bike ride across London. Highly recommended.
