There’s next to nothing that London doesn’t offer. It’s a city bursting at the seams with quaint coffee shops, expansive parks, trendy bars, late night food, and so, so much more. However, while there’s little to complain about in the way of options for both sober and alcohol-fueled activities, the latter often leave us feeling lifeless the next morning.
Waking up hungover and regretful calls for one thing, and one thing only: brunch. If you’re unenthusiastic about the idea of ordering French toast, eggs Benedict, or granola for the 5th time this month, check out these offbeat London brunch spots that are sure to change the brunch game for good:

Well, yeah, they do… and you would be crazy not to try it.
