Stiles Bakery

I would like someone from the Bakery to get in touch with me. My husband and I purchased 3 fruit scones from the display in the window today. They looked so scrummie. We then purchased strawberries outside Victoria station and cream from our local supermarket when we got home to Littlehampton. Unable to eat, full of salt. We had already buttered, jammed and creamed them, all wasted, the sald was that strong, making us feel sick.

Always ensure I pop by Stiles Bakery whenever I’m in Westminster. They do the best quiche slice I’ve ever had… incredibly tall, moister than a humid day in Taiwan, and chock-​full of fresh ingredients. And all for just £1.80! They have an array of quiche flavours including ham, spinach and mushroom to satisfy even the fussiest of quiche fans.
When I’m bored of quiche (which is very rare) Stiles have a wide selection of additional gorgeous pastries to fill my stomach. These include pies and slices of all kinds (big fan of their Steak & Kidney pie). They also feature some delightful little oddities, such as the zestful burger bar, which is a cheese burger and pastry all in one!
Aside from this you’ve got a glarious array of well-​priced (and well filled!) baguettes I keep meaning to eat more of (but then always get side-​tracked by the gorgeous quiche).
Like its neighbour Pain du Jour this is a Strutton Ground gem. Slightly mind-​blowing to find such good value (yet tasty regardless) food practically on Parliament’s doorstep!

This is one of the three baguette options down Strutton Ground, plus a Subway. To be honest they’re all much of a muchness, except that this place also does some fine looking cakes too.
Notice I’ve said fine looking? It’s because they don’t really taste of much other than cream. The baguettes themselves are good and really quite cheap — and if you go near closing they’re like loose change cheap. They also have a decent hot food counter with a variety of savoury pastries and ready made paninis. The only snag with that is that it’s so busy that you don’t get a great deal of time to look. Not a problem if you’re a regular but possibly overwhelming for tourists.
It’s a solid and cheap lunch option.

Having those mouth watering pastries, sandwiches and cakes displayed behind those glass windows attracts anybody who walks by to go in and grab something. The prices are displayed next to each and they are pretty reasonable for a bakery shop right in the middle of London.
The carrot cake that we bought was delish; just what we wanted after eating fish and chips from a nearby restaurant.

Wednesday — Lunch
We stumbled on this place in a little alleyway near Westminster. The filled baguettes and pastries sitting the window awaiting their demise in my mouth looked delicious, as did the prices next to them.
Everything tasted as good as it looked and was the cheapest meal we had in Europe. £1.70 for a foot long, oh-​so-​tastily-​filled baguette… This is not your typical Subway jaunt. I highly recommend stopping here. I would go out of my way to find this little gem again.

Really yummy. Got the Chicken, Mayonnaise and Sweet Corn baguette £1.85. Doesn’t get much cheaper than that.

The only two things you need to know about Stiles is that the goods are delicious and it’s CRAZY cheap. I mean go-​out-​of-​business cheap; a huge slice of cheesecake is just £1, and that’s about as expensive as it get.
They also have tasty-​looking sandwiches and baguettes for under £2, which I think I’ll have to try on my next visit.

The bagettes don’t have quite the gut busting proportions they used to have (see comments below) but Stiles is still the best value bakery on Strutton Ground — or anywhere nearby for that matter. You can get a reasonable size, properly filled sandwich with a good variety of breads and fillings. The desserts are absolute delicious and everything is very reasonably priced. Very reasonably priced.
Defintely the best lunch spot in the area, just make sure you’ve decided what you want before you get in the queue because it moves fast and they take no prisioners!

Stiles Bakery is an ultra-​cheap and hugely popular bakery specialising in filled baguettes and traditional English and Danish pastries for the lunchtime trade.
It is, indeed, cheap — basic filled baguettes and baps start from £1.65, and pastries from 65p. And the service is impressively efficient, with a half a dozen staff serving a near-​constant queue of customers very quickly. But their produce ain’t the tastiest. I very rarely go there, but if you’re on Victoria Street and want your lunch simple, cheap and served quickly, you might want to check out Stiles.

A great place for a takeaway lunch. Large slection of baguettes or ‘sticks’ as they are called and even larger selection of cakes, pies and sausage rolls.
Ps don’t worry about the queue it’s fast moving.

How do they managed to sell baguettes at such a good price? Decent fillings, always fresh, and a great price.

As a local resident who once worked in the area (Broadway, St James’s Park), Stiles has been around for over a decade and continues to provide good value baguette sandwiches, breads and cakes in great variety. They have not changed. Hooray! A typical filled baguette sandwich can be had for less than £2 and it is of a generous size with plenty of fillings. Okay, the fillings are not that exciting but they are not bad either e.g. tuna and sweetcorn, ham and cheese, tomato and cheese etc.
They also see bakery bread whole or sliced. German style rye bread is sold sometimes which is worth checking out. Their danish pastries are rather wicked and thickly glazed — handy for buying a dozen or so in a box to take back to the office as an alternative to cakes.
Stiles is open, albeit on a reduced stock level, at weekends to catch the tourist trade.

Try STILES bakery no. 6 Strutton Ground. Bought two macaroon biscuits with a cherry on top for 75 pence each. Simply lovely chewy almond flavoured treats. They also have a selection of french sticks with a variety of different fillings. The prices at this bakery are unbelievably reasonable. A french stick with pastrami and lettuce will set you back about £1.60 and a raisin danish 65p.
I live and work in London: take it from me, this place is truly value for money! No more Subway, Pret a manger, or Mcdonalds. I walk from my place of work in Trafalgar Sq to this bakery located on a side street close to New Scotland yard on Victoria st. Look for the small street market that identifies Strutton Ground. Takes me 15 minutes but well worth the walk. Can’t recommend this place enough.
If you prefer some fish and chips. Try the chippy at the lower end of the street. The place is always busy not just lunch times, testimony to the good grub served there. A small bag of chips £1.40 a large bag £2.00, cod and chips about £6.75.Portions are always enough to satisfy the most famished. Hope you manage to visit. You will not be disappointed

This is an expereince, they almost have as many people behind the counter as they do queuing out of the door. it’s the cheaper of the baguette shops down Strutton Ground and great for lunch. they’ve also got a massive selection of cakes to finish you off.
Just try the Tuna Mayo baguette, I literally think there are two tins of tuna in there — immense

Stiles is a bakery close to St James Park Station where you can find fresh green horning baguettes and other sandwiches.
It is idea for lunch.
Prices start at £1.20 for a ham and cheese and their food is nice.
They also sell pies, birthday cakes and other patisseries like chocolat swiss rolls and lamingtons (my favourites).
I highly recommend it!
