From their brunch menu:
Full Irish Breakfast $22.00
2 Eggs Your Way, Irish Bacon (rashers), Irish Sausage (bangers), Roasted Half Tomato with Herbed Breadcrumbs, Sautéed Mushrooms, Black & White Pudding, Boxty Potato Cake, Baked Beans, Slice of House Made Irish Soda Bread

OK even to me that sounds very tasty! Used to live in Islington and had my share of bad English brekkies.

English breakfasts are famously yummy.

Cafe Kindred in Falls Church does a full English. Closed on Mondays. They root for Liverpool, if that affects your decision-making either way.

The Old Brogue (or Katie's coffee house; same business different front doors) in Great Falls.

Yeah, you always hear people joke about how terrible British food is, so I was extremely surprised to find a place that is now my favorite bakery in Baltimore.

I’m a fan of several British dishes, especially the pies. I don’t know why meat pies aren’t a thing here. I love pasties, steak and ale pie, shepherd’s/cottage pie and all that. I’ll eat toad in the hole on occasion too. There are many countryside pubs in the uk with great food too.

Don't know about the suburbs but you could try Elephant & Castle (near the Old Post Office) or the Dubliner near Union Station. They're as close to British as you can get downtown outside of the gorgeous embassy.
Would probably be a special request if you want the beans, blood sausage, et al. Call ahead.

I didn't say it was my favorite cheap bakery.

But if you want the British flavor in your sausages, you'll probably have to order British bangers online ($50+)and cook them at home. US restaurants can't afford to offer those.

And now I'm curious. Are there American restaurants that actually import British bangers? Can they afford to do that? Are those "Irish sausages" on American menus imported from Ireland or "Irish-style"? Just wondering.
