Summer weekends should be spent enjoying leisurely brunches and lively bottomless events.
A good summer brunch is about more than just what’s on the plate. It’s about a relaxed vibe, finding a table on a terrace and stretching a late breakfast into a long afternoon with friends.
Whether you prefer a laid-back meal in a leafy setting or a livelier bottomless affair, London has plenty of options. Here are nine of the best.
The Dial — Home of Meantime, Greenwich
If your idea of a summer brunch involves plenty of drinks and a soundtrack to match, head to The Dial — Home of Meantime in Greenwich on a Saturday.

The menu features dishes such as crispy chicken wings, padron peppers and burgers, while drinks range from Cosmopolitans and Margaritas to prosecco and Meantime beer.
