The best brunch in London for 2025

In the heart of Fitzrovia, in a post war building that used to house a Pizza Express, the second branch of Where The Pancakes Are has just opened its doors. It follows the great success of the restaurant in Flat Iron Square, giving you options when it comes to location. Pleasingly, in an effort to be more sustainable, the team decided to repurpose and reuse much of the Pizza Express fittings and furnishings to create a new atmosphere with pre-loved things.

The menu is, understandably, mostly pancakes, divided into savoury and sweet. Yet there still feels as though there’s enough to satisfy everyone. There are traditional breakfast toppings, such as eggs royale or streaky bacon, as well as more experimental things like cinnamon pineapple or crushed beetroot meringue flakes. – AB
