Best Bottomless Brunches in Central London

TH@51, Westminster

Celebrate the arrival of summer with brunch in the light-filled conservatory of TH@51. Tucked away in St. James’ Court London, A Taj Hotel (one of our favourite hotels in London), just beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows is a vibrant courtyard filled with blooming flowers, elegant brickwork and colourful faux birds suspended from the sky. It feels like a secret garden – yet you’re a stone’s throw from Buckingham Palace. Tuck into a very reasonably priced (and very delicious) brunch soundtracked by live music and clinking glasses – what better way to celebrate the weekend in London? The menu is inspired by nature’s elements, featuring the likes of a Breezy Acai Bowl, the Ocean Breeze Shrimp Cocktail, Lamb Chops with a wild mushroom risotto, and the Andalusian Gazpacho Bowl with ancho chilli grilled shrimp – with more classic dishes available too. Don’t forget to kick it off with a tasty mimosa, and wrap it all up with pudding (naturally); who can say no to a hot ganache cookie and a dollop of ice cream?

Price: Two courses £35, with bottomless £50; three courses £45, with bottomless £60. Bottomless options are Cobra Beers or Bellinis.

Availability: Saturdays & Sundays 12.30–4pm
