Long and lazy brunches for families is one of our favourite weekend activities in London and the capital has a plethora of great restaurants and cafes for those with kids in tow. Early mornings may be part and parcel of parenthood, but when an 8am trip to the park is followed by great coffee and poached eggs, we can’t really complain! Whether it’s the fab play area or the fluffiest pancakes, each of the venues on our list has a USP for young families, and of course they all boast those important details like baby changing facilities and a breastfeeding friendly policy. Let’s dive into our best family brunch in London.
1. ROKA
Yes, it’s technically a fancy Japanese restaurant, but don’t be fooled—ROKA Aldwych is a game-changer for foodie families.
Think elegant vibes, but super welcoming staff who’ll bring your kiddo chopsticks and not judge you for ordering sushi at 11am.
Their robata brunch menu comes with sharing plates that are surprisingly child-approved (those gyozas = gone in 30 seconds).
Bonus: they’ve got a sweet dessert platter that’ll make your little ones feel like mini VIPs.

If you are venturing around Borough Market and Tate Modern over the weekend, you have to try this modern and trendy brunch place in London.
We’ve recently booked a large table with 2 families for a cheeky Sunday brunch at Caravan London Bridge. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of our English breakfast and how busy this place was. Staff was very helpful and quick to serve our breakfast at the large table.
Make sure you pre-book your table for Sunday as it was packed last time we were there. Brunch is served on weekends from 9am until 4pm so perfect for late diners too!

9. Eggbreak
With such a name, you know you’ve come to the right place to taste a great brunch breakfast in London. Eggbreak is an independent café located in Notting Hill serving eggs all day long.
But don’t try to book a table in advance, the venue only takes walk ins! So you might need to queue outside and wait for a table. Usually, you don’t have to wait for too long to get a table as the tables are turnaround quickly at Eggbreak.
Once you’re inside, you will have a choice of lots of dishes with eggs such as pancakes, egg benedict or even Truffle scrambled eggs.

✓ Tried & Tested
If you are after a special treat with a dose of luxury, you simply can’t go wrong by booking a table at the International Park Lane.
The Sunday brunch is to die for with a huge buffet that includes salads, charcuterie, Danish pastries and so much more.
You also have access to the Sunday Roast with the popular Duke’s Wellington roast beef. Eggs, crêpes and pancakes are also made to order with your favourite toppings.
So if you have a birthday to celebrate or simply want to be close to Hyde Park during your holiday, I highly recommend trying this luxury hotel Sunday brunch.
