The crumpets themselves were warm, buttery, and perfectly toasted, creating a fantastic textural contrast to the creamy avocado.

Plus, a dash of tangy sriracha was added to the hollandaise to create a unique flavor combination that makes your palate sing with happiness as you enjoy one of the best brunch places in London.

10. Sketch

By: Melissa Hogan of Suitcase and Heels

A delicious, deconstructed, English breakfast at Sketch in London.

I’ll admit it. I planned to brunch at Sketch because of Instagram. All those photos of plush pink dining rooms were just mesmerizing and I wanted to see it all for myself.

However, what I didn’t realize when I made my reservation was that Sketch actually has a collection of dining rooms, all of with have unique designs.

And this vision in Pink? Yeah, it’s only found in The Gallery.

Because as it turns out, when I visited for brunch, I was served in the Parlour, which has a decorative style that is akin to Alice in Wonderland meets Louis XV on acid.

So even though it wasn’t pink, this dining room was still a feast for the eyes. And that’s great since I was dining alone and didn’t want to constantly have my nose in my phone.

Like everything else here, the menu is a bit quirky. That’s why, I ordered a deconstructed full English that included two poached eggs with tomato concassé, Cumberland sausage, black pudding, Portobello mushrooms, and bacon, with a side of toast, and a pot of tea.

Because I mean, when in England… am I right? Well, this eatery somehow managed to simultaneously elevate and breakdown a typical full English.

And their efforts were delicious. I also somehow missed their super Instagrammable bathroom pods since I was directed to this dark, mirrored, night club style toilet. I guess this just means that I need to go back for Afternoon Tea, doesn’t it?

Sure, this is one of the best brunch spots in London that was a bit pricey at £15 for brunch and £4 for tea, but the ambiance and photo ops were all worth it.

That’s why brunch, at Sketch is definitely one of the many super cool things to do in London.

Address: 9 Conduit St, London W1S 2XG, United Kingdom

Hours: Open Monday and Tuesday from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm, Wednesday/Thursday/Sunday from 9:00 am to 12:00 am, and Friday and Saturday from 9:00 am to 2:00 am.

Price: Entrees start at £13.00 each.

11. London Chinatown Restaurant

By: Mei and Kerstin of Travel with Mei and Kerstin

gate of the famous Chinatown in London, UK, at dusk

When talking about brunch in London, most people think of Eggs Benedict, bacon, beans, pancakes, fresh fruit, and of course a pitches of mimosas.

And while this all sounds delicious, we prefer dim sum for brunch when visiting London. Translated to “heart’s delight” in English, dim sum consists of small, bite-size portions of Chinese food.

Typically, most dim sum is steamed and served with hot tea, making this one of the healthier brunch spots in London.

Truth be told though, we’ve actually had several travel mishaps in London. However, we keep returning for the delicious dim sum that is found in London’s Chinatown.

In fact, London has the best Chinatown, and some of the freshest and most authentic Chinese food, in all of Europe. During our last visit two months ago, we dined at “London Chinatown Restaurant”.

Also, when dining in authentic, Chinese restaurants, always remember that what matters most to Chinese people is hot and delicious food that is served quickly.

Therefore, don’t expect fantastic service from a kind and patient waitstaff. Instead, expect nothing but delicious dim sum because that’s exactly what you’ll get.

Now, if you decide to visit unusual London restaurant for yourself, be sure to order the Ha Gao (shrimp dumplings), Siu Mai (pork dumplings), and Char Siu Bao (a fluffy barbecue-pork filled bun).

Personally, my favorites are the Cheung Fan (rice noodle rolls filled with barbecued pork or shrimp in a sweetened soy sauce), and the mango pudding, egg tarts, and Malay steamed sponge cake for dessert. Truly the yummiest way to end brunch in London’s Chinatown.

Address: 27 Gerrard St, London W1D 6JN, United Kingdom

Hours: Open daily from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm.

Price: Around £6.00 per order.

How to Get There: Take the Piccadilly or Bakerloo line to Piccadilly Circus and walk from there.

12. Abuelo

Smashing pumpkins dish with goat cheese from Abuelo in Covent Garden. One of the best brunch spots in London.

Head to this super chill, coffee shop and eatery in Covent Garden to sample some truly next-level awesome South American/Australian inspired fare in London.

In fact, this place is so laid back that they’re created a communal, family-style dining room where guests come together around long, wooden tables and stare at the stunning cakes that line the countertops near the front of the store.

Muted green and earthy brown tones also adorn the interior – decorative touches that are relatively dull when compared to the flavorful Australian and South American cuisine that is served here.

So, if you’re looking for some lighter fare, try the Smashing Pumpkins with walnuts, goat cheese, and crusty sourdough bread.

Otherwise, opt for the spicy, huevos divorciados de turco, which is basically a fun take on baked eggs that includes labneh, chimichurri, and salsa roja.

Just don’t leave without ordering a latte or an other espresso-based drink since the coffee here is smooth, strong, and super delicious.

Pro Tip: This is one of the best brunch spots in London that is popular and that doesn’t take reservations. So, expect a queue, especially on the weekends.

Address: 26 Southampton St, Covent Garden, WC2E 7RS

Hours: Open daily from 9:00 am to 6:30 pm, with extended hours until 7:30 pm on Fridays and Saturdays.

13. Sparrow

By: Claire Delplancq of Claire Imaginarium

A traditional brunch at Sparrow.

Far off the well-trodden, London tourist trail in Lewisham is a cosmopolitan neighborhood in the south of Greenwich.

It is here that you’ll find Sparrow, a restaurant opened by a husband-and-wife duo who honor their cultural heritage by fusing English recipes with Sri Lankan flavors.

Favoring local products and seasonal ingredients, Sparrow serves a uniquely wonderful brunch during the weekend with dishes like full-English breakfast, Eggs Benedict, and more traditional Sri Lanka menu items like poori masala and appam. 

If you are up for it, try the appam, a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast that is similar to a pancake and made with fermented rice and coconut milk.

And if you’re REALLY hungry, you can also order the full English. Pair it with one of Sparrow’s fresh juices or delicious smoothies for the ultimate foodie experience at one of the best brunch spots in London.

Then, after you’ve eaten, take a leisurely, post-brunch stroll through Hilly Fields and enjoy some of the fantastic, panoramic city views that this park has to offer.

14. Sunday in Brooklyn

Notting Hill

Tucked away among the pastel-hued townhouses of Notting Hill is Sunday in Brooklyn.

And, as the name might suggest, it’s one of the best brunch spots in London if you’re looking for a traditional, super gluttonous, American-style breakfast.

After all, the speciality here is pancakes, pancakes, and, oh yeah, more pancakes! In fact, the hazelnut maple praline and brown butter pancakes here really do live up to all the hype and are bathed in a wonderful amount of natural light since the windows here are extra large.

Although, truth be told, they do have other delicious things on the menu, like the Don Ruben omelette which is made with mole sauce, roasted mushrooms and goat cheese).

Plus, added bonus? They have a super fun cocktail menu that is not to be missed since their Champagne Problems (genepy, strawberry, lemon, and champagne) pairs perfectly with just about anything you order.

15. Darwin Brasserie at Sky Garden

By: Clare Dewey of Epic Road Rides

Eggs Florentine from Darwin's Brasseries at Sky Garden, one of the top brunch spots in London.

Whenever I get a chance, I visit Darwin Brasserie at Sky Garden in London’s iconic Walkie Talkie building.

I’m a HUGE fan of the brunch here since it combines some of my favorite things: yummy food at a fair price, incredible views, stylish decor, and fantastic service.  

Seriously, what more could you ask for? Because the weekend brunch here consists of a pre-set, three-course menu for around £45.00 per person.

Additionally, the starters and desserts are served buffet style, while all the main courses are prepared to order – a unique touch at one of the best brunch spots in London that creates a relaxing, unpretentious atmosphere where diners can feel truly comfortable.

And while the menu does change from time to time, some highlights from my last visit were the clementine and dill cured salmon starter, the eggs Florentine, and the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. 

All this and I haven’t even mentioned the view, which is stunning. So, to get to Darwin Brasserie, just catch take the elevator to Sky Garden, a publicly accessible viewing area.

16. The Good Egg

Best bottomless brunch in London

This SOHO area hot spot is known for its delicious small plates, which are perfect for sharing and filled with flavorful cuisine that has a distinct Israeli flare to it.

And that makes sense since the food here reflects the owner’s travel to exotic locales like Tel Aviv, Montreal, and California.

However, the real star of the show at one of the best brunch places in London is the babka, or an amazing, Eastern-European style brioche that is served you fresh out of the oven.

And while babka comes in many different flavors and varieties, the one here is served with pistachio and dates and is a real highlight of any meal here.

Pair it with their decadent, deep-friend halloumi with honey and thyme and you easily have a contender for the best brunch in London.

17. The Blues Kitchen

By: Anisa of Two Traveling Texans

Delicious Huevos Rancheros from The Blues Kitchen.

The Blues Kitchen is a southern-style, American restaurant that serves an amazing London boozy brunch on the weekends. 

Because for just £23.95 per person (£26.95 for Prosecco), you can add 90 minutes of bottomless drinks to your entree and enjoy as many Proseccos, Bloody Marys, and Mimosas as you can drink.

In fact, after our visit, we had a day of sightseeing planned so we opted for a delicious, spiked milkshake instead.  

And with a menu full of traditional brunch favorites – with a unique southern twist – everything prepared here is absolutely delicious.

My husband, Russell ordered the crab cakes benedict and I had the huevos rancheros. And while my dish was delicious, the crab cakes were some of the best I’ve ever tasted (we also ordered the cornbread too which was amazing).

Plus, this is one of the best brunch spots in London where prices are actually reasonable. The service is also excellent, and they have this amazingly funky decor that cionsists of an old-fashioned camper with tables inside.

So, yes, I’ll definitely be back! And while Blues Kitchen wasn’t too busy when we visited, I would still make a reservation, especially in the evenings when they have live music, since it is one of the best restaurants in Shoreditch.

But, if Shoreditch isn’t convenient for you, this is best bottomless brunch London locale has locations in Brixton and Camden too.

By: Maire Bonheim of Temples and Treehouses

The chargrilled chorizo on sourdough  toast from Brindisa.

If you’re doing some solo travel through London, then Borough Market is an amazing food hall that you absolutely must visit.

Popular among locals and tourists alike, this market sits just under the railway arches of London Bridge station and is a brilliant London brunch spot in its own right since it’s brimming over with amazing street food and snacks on the go.

However, if you’re looking for a more formal, sit down brunch experience then definitely visit Brindisa, right by the market’s entrance.

This Spanish tapas restaurant is where you’ll find some of the most delicious food in the city and one of the best brunch places in London.

Personally, my favorite dishes are the chargrilled spicy chorizo sausage on sourdough toast, the fried goat’s cheese with honey, and the crispy croquetas with gooey ham and cheesy centers.

Plus, throughout the summer, you can people watch at a table outside in the sun. You can also enjoy the cozy interior during the winter as you sip on espressos and sample rich, tasty tapas.

Now, since Brindisa is quite popular and gets busy during lunchtime, brunch is the perfect time to visit since you’ll get there before the crowds arrive.

Also, if you’re looking for something a bit stronger than coffee, they have a great selection of Spanish wines and sherries too.

20. Sunday Cafe and Restaurant

By: Josy Austin of A Walk and a Lark

Sunday is a sweet little brunch restaurant on this charming, residential street in Islington, just North of Kings Cross.

And while they do serve an excellent traditional English breakfast with all the trimmings, their best brunch items involve American-style cuisine.

So, if you’re imagining giant stacks of pancake and bacon, or chicken and waffles then that’s exactly what you’ll get at one of the best brunch places in London.

Personally though, I love the courgette fritters (zucchini) that come with halloumi. I’m also slightly addicted to the corn fritters that are served with tasty salmon and a pile of avocado.

Therefore, the only real problem with Sunday is the wait. In fact, the food is so beautifully Instagramable that if you attempt to dine here during the weekend, expect a long wait.

Accordingly, try visiting during the week to avoid the crowds.  And after you’ve finished your meal, head up the road to the stunning, ivy-covered Hemingford Arms.

This pub is pretty close to Sunday, has super friendly bartenders, and features some quirky decor that is fun to see in person.

If you’re up for it, you can also walk off your brunch by taking a stroll through the beautiful, Capital Ring – Section 12.  

Address: 69 Hemingford Rd, London N1 1DA, United Kingdom

Hours: Open daily from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm, expect on weekends when they open at 9:00 am.

How to Get There: Take the Overground to Caledonian Road and Barnsbury station and walk from there.
