Best Bottomless Brunches in London: 2025 Guide
Imagine this: it’s late morning. You’ve woken up maybe too late to call it breakfast, too early to call it lunch. You’re in London the city that never really sleeps and the idea of sipping bottomless spritzes while nibbling avocado toast (or bao buns, or huevos rancheros) feels like pure weekend romance.
London’s bottomless brunch scene is more than gimmick: it’s evolved. These days you’ll find spots that combine quirky themes, DJ sets, drag shows, rooftop views, or wild food menus. It’s about experience as much as what’s on the plate. Recent guides like The Nudge mention over 30 excellent bottomless brunches you can try across the city. And Time Out’s ever-updating list keeps track of the freshest ones worth booking.
But how do you pick the right one? That’s where this guide shaped by seven guiding principles comes in. (Don’t worry I won’t list “Point 1, Point 2...” I’ll just weave them in so it flows.)
What to look for (and how I picked these)
When I set out to compile the “best bottomless brunches 2025,” here’s what I kept in mind and let me tell you, some places surprised me:
Drink quality & variety — It’s not enough to get “bottomless bubbles” if the bubbles are flat or the cocktail list is uninspired.
Fresh, interesting food — A place could give you all the fizz in the world, but if the menu is bland or uninventive, it won’t last.
Ambience & “something extra” — DJs, drag, live music, rooftop views, theatrical touches these lift a brunch from “nice” to “legendary.”
Value for money — Time limits, number of drinks, how good the food is relative to price.
Accessibility & location variety — I wanted a spread across East, West, Central, North, South, so no matter where you are in London, there’s something close.
Consistency & freshness — Places that maintain high reviews recently, keep reinventing, don’t rest on hype.
Flexibility (non-alcoholic options, booking ease, weekend schedules) — Because sometimes you’re with someone who doesn’t drink, or brunch plans change.
With all that, here are my top picks for 2025 including some wild ones you have to try.
Top picks worth booking now
1. Albert’s Schloss, Soho
A Soho classic. Their “Bottomless Brünchen Klub” is part Alpine-feast, part cabaret party. Expect hearty brunch dishes, DJs, promenaders and schnapps surprises.
Your 90-minute bottomless window includes Prosecco, beer, Aperol Spritz, Bloody Marys. The energy in the room turns from brunch to mini-party by the end.
If you want a brunch that’s as much theatre as food and fizz, this is a safe bet.
2. Flesh & Buns (Oxford Circus / Covent Garden)
For lovers of bao, izakaya vibes, and punchy flavours. Their bottomless brunch blends Japanese-Korean influences: think crispy duck buns, grilled skewers, bold sauces.
They manage to balance solid food with generous drinks (cocktails, wine, bubbles). It’s less “party time” and more “serious foodie brunch with bottomless perks.”
3. Sintillate Bottomless Brunch at Bread Street Kitchen / Brix / City spots
If you like sleek hotel-style brunches with a DJ and crowd, this is one to bookmark. Their “party brunch” models involve two courses + drinks (Prosecco, Aperol, cocktails, beer). The vibe is upscale but still fun ideal if you want brunch but also want it to feel like an event.
4. 100 Wardour Street, Soho
You’ll see this name on many bottomless brunch lists (and for good reason). Their brunches pair DJ sets, 2 or 3 course menus, and constant bubbles.
Because it’s centrally located, you can easily plan a theatre show or shopping detour before or after.
5. Santo Remedio, London Bridge
Love Mexican brunch? This is your power move. Tacos, flautas, guac served with bottomless margaritas, cava, sangria, and beer.
A 90-minute window means you’ll want to pace yourself. But the setting funky, colorful, warm makes it ideal for brunch that feels like lunch.
6. Scarlett Green, Soho / West End
Glamour meets bubbles. Scarlett Green leans into glitter, feminine energy, theatrical touches. Time Out praises it as a brunch that lets you live your “Sex and the City” daydream.
It’s perfect if you’re going out with girlfriends and want something bright, sparkling and Instagrammable.
7. Little Blue Door, Fulham (West London)
Off the beaten track but one of the better value finds. Their house-party aesthetic, creative décor, and bottomless drinks (Prosecco, house punch) make it feel cozy yet fun.
If you’re staying west or want a brunch away from the tourist circuits, this is a gem.
Tips & traps — from a brunch obsessive
Don’t rush the food — Many bottomless brunches give you a 90-minute window. Order your food early so you eat while drinks are arriving.
Pace yourself with cocktails — Even unlimited drinks can feel limited when you’re out of breath by the 4th round.
Check drink ceilings or limits — Some places set a “two drinks at a time” or “one of each” rule.
Reserve well in advance — Weekends sell out fast, especially for the best ones (I’ve seen 100 Wardour’s slots vanish weeks ahead).
Go with mates — Brunch is better when you can share flights, dishes, and send your friend to the bar while you order another pancake.
Ask for non-alcoholic versions — Many places now accommodate mocktails or soft alternatives for people cutting out alcohol check in advance.
Be wary of hype-brunches — Some high-end ones charge extra for food and don’t include premium drinks — check menus carefully. (SquareMeal warns of that with some brunch models.)
A sample weekend brunch crawl (just for fun)
Let me tell you about my ideal Sunday. I’d start in the late morning at Santo Remedio near London Bridge slow tacos, fresh margaritas, soak up the colors. Then head over to Covent Garden and finish at 100 Wardour Street for round two with DJ sets and Prosecco tanks. Add in a stroll through Carnaby, pop into galleries, maybe brunch becomes a full afternoon affair. That’s the London brunch life.
If you’re staying north or east, swap in Scarlett Green for sparkle or Albert’s Schloss for all-out party. If you're further west, book Little Blue Door early and take a walk through Fulham’s leafy streets afterward.
Why 2025 is the moment to do bottomless brunch in London

With more remote and flexible work, afternoons are more free brunch is creeping into “day-to-night” territory.
Final thoughts & your next move
If you were to pick one brunch to try first, I’d recommend Albert’s Schloss in Soho it captures the energy, the fun, the food & drink, all in one package. It’s like brunch and nightlife had a baby. But in truth, there’s no single “best” only the one that fits your mood that day.
So here’s your call-to-action (my human side tipping its hat):
