Here we bring you some of the very best bottomless brunches the capital has to offer, from the traditional avo-on-toast with prosecco aplenty to Pisco-fuelled Peruvian-style parties. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, catching up with old friends or just fancy a lively weekend (no judgement here), fun is guaranteed at these boozy London brunches. Just don’t blame us for the hangover.

The Piano Works
For the ultimate party brunch head to Piano Works, which has two venues across London – one in the West End, the other in Farringdon. The main selling point here is the live band, who play songs requested by brunchers. For £55pp you can enjoy free-flowing prosecco or Bloody Mary’s alongside a two-course brunch, and unlike many bottomless brunches here bottles of bubbly are left on the table, allowing you to top up yourselves so you can really make the most of the time slot. Main dishes range from the classic – avo-on toast, smoked salmon and eggs on sourdough – to the more creative, like king oyster mushrooms served on English muffin with miso avocado butter. Follow with cheesecake, sorbet or the decadent chocolate tower. The dimly lit surroundings, basement-style settings and party atmosphere make it feel more like 11pm than 11am, so we can guarantee you won’t be holding back on the bubbles…
Price: £55pp for two hours of bottomless prosecco, beer and cocktails, plus two courses
Availability: Saturday and bank holiday Sundays, 12pm and 2.30pm

Quaglino’s
Trendy restaurants come and go, but some places are timeless. The ever-glamorous Mayfair institution Quaglino’s is one of these places. Since opening in 1953 it has attracted high-end crowds, and was frequented by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor in the fifties. Today it remains a glitzy venue, with a particularly decadent champagne brunch on offer. Staying true to its name, the menu features both breakfast and lunch options. All your classic egg brunch dishes are on offer (Florentine, Royale and Benedict) alongside meals that definitely veer towards lunch territory – think truffle risotto, Jersey oysters, lobster Thermidor and steak.

Bourne & Hollingsworth
A bright and airy dining room tucked away in Clerkenwell, Bourne & Hollingsworth is one of London’s prettiest brunch spots. It’s minimalist but vibrant at the same time – think whitewashed floorboards and antique furniture paired with tropical upholstery. Luckily the food is equally impressive: we recommend the gluten free pancakes, served with toasted hazelnuts and caramelised banana, or the Huevos Benedictos with chorizo, avocado, béarnaise sauce and pico de gallo if you’re after savoury. This can be paired with your choice of Bloody Marys, bellinis or prosecco.
Price: £39.50pp for bottomless Bloody Marys/bellinis and two dishes, or £44.50 for bottomless prosecco and two dishes

Bōkan 37
Bōkan 37 is far more swanky than its exterior suggests. To get there you have to weave through the not-so-glamorous industrial landscape of Canary Wharf until you reach The Novotel, head through an unassuming door and into a small lift which whisks you up to the 37th floor. As soon as you step out, however, you’ll see the magic. There are many sky-high restaurants in London, but the vantage point from here is quite different to the city centre spots, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering jaw-dropping 360 panoramas. The bottomless brunch here is less eggs and pancakes and more grilled meats, fish and vegetables cooked to perfection. Enjoy 1.5 hours of free-flowing prosecco alongside three courses of food to balance things out. After your time is up, head upstairs to the rooftop bar, marvel at the views and try one of their delicious cocktails… if you’re still standing!

One Hundred Shoreditch’s vibey, sun-trap rooftop bar recently launched a delicious boozy brunch offering.

The menu gives classic dishes a Californian twist. Those with a sweet tooth will love the French toast with roasted peach and mascarpone, but the potato rosti (with smoked salmon, keta and chives) and Turkish eggs (with garlic yogurt and aubergine) bring a little something different to the table. Avo fanatics, do not fear: there’s smashed avo on sourdough on offer (featuring poached eggs and harissa), but you should try the salmon tostada for a delightfully crunchy and avo-y change.
