As a local who’s lived in London for four years, I know exactly what to look for when it comes to awesome London breakfast and brunch spots. And let me tell you, the Clapham brunch scene has got it going on!
With so many cool bars, cafes, and coffee places offering a brunch menu in this area of London, you’re sure to find your new go-to spot.

In this post, I’ll be sharing the twelve most popular Clapham breakfast and brunch spots, as well as some hand-picked suggestions for Clapham bottomless brunch and Clapham drag brunch (because why not!).
Get ready to indulge in some seriously epic brunch in Clapham – let’s dive in!

Best Brunch in Clapham, London
1. No 32 The Old Town – Clapham Old Town
No.32 has quickly become one of the best brunch places in Clapham for morning specials. From hearty burgers to healthy granolas, their breakfast and brunch menu offers a great range of options. It’s probably the best breakfast in Clapham.
I highly recommend the heavenly coconut, banana, and ricotta pancakes – the best pancakes in Clapham, in my opinion! Plus, they have an impressive selection of alcohol for those looking to add a bit of boozy fun to brunch.
And with a classy interior and scenic outdoor seating area overlooking Clapham Common, No 32 has everything you need for a perfect brunch experience.
Opening times: No 32 offers a breakfast menu between 9 am and 11:30 am daily, while weekends have a special all-day brunch menu between 11 am and 5 pm.
2. Jacks At The Junction – Clapham Junction
Looking for cheap prices and prompt service at the most sworn-by place for brunch? Jacks at the Junction is always brimming with hungry Londoners – an indicator of how well this place is doing! It’s the perfect spot for a quick Clapham Junction brunch without needing to spend a fortune.
The menu consists of some mouth-watering dishes – classic fried egg and bacon, baked beans, and American corned beef hash, to name a few. And for the sweet toothed among us, there is French toasts and pancakes.
Fancy something different? Jack’s at the Junction also offers a DIY brunch option, so you can build your own brunch combo!
Opening times: 7 am to 4:30 pm every day except Sundays when they open from 8:30 am until 4.30 pm.
3. The Terrace by Megan’s – Clapham Common
This posh-looking restaurant is a go-to for a Clapham Common brunch. Why? The interiors of this place are magical. Inspired by a winter wonderland, the forest decor, floral details, kissing booth, fairy lights, and neon signs give The Terrace by Megan’s that Christmassy feeling all year round.
Plus, the menu at The Terrace is just divine. The Turkish brunch feast is delicious and perfect for sharing. If you’re not a food-sharer, try out the veggie brunch, shakshorizo baked eggs, or just a good old avocado on sourdough toast. This is the best brunch in Clapham, in my opinion!
Most brunch dishes cost around £10-12, with most teas and coffees coming in at around £3. Not bad when you consider how expensive London can be!
Opening times: The brunch menu is available for the whole day during the restaurant’s opening hours – 11 am till 5:30 pm.
4. Mommi – Clapham High Street
When you are in the mood for Asian food, Mommi is the perfect place for it. As one of the most unusual restaurants in Clapham (it serves up Latin American and Japanese fusion food, after all) Mommi is quite the hit amongst locals.
Although it serves food all day long, Mommi is very popular for its brunch dishes. Try the boy burger or the grilled honey crumpet when your stomach is empty and you won’t be disappointed. Plus, there’s a boozy brunch option! You can get a bottomless prosecco brunch for £32.50.
Opening times: Mommi only serves brunch here on Saturdays, from 12.30pm until 6pm.
5. Minnow – Clapham Common
Minnow, a modern independent restaurant overlooking Clapham Common, is one of the top restaurants in Clapham at any time of day! At breakfast time, though, Minnow’s offering is nothing short of spectacular.
What you’ll get here is cozy, rustic-chic decor with attentive service and a range of drool-worthy breakfast classics. We’re talking avocado and poached eggs on toast, as well as “the full Minnow” – The Minnow’s take on a full English breakfast.
There are plenty of veggie options on the menu, and on Sundays you’re even able to get a roast dinner brunch, with a choice of two meats or a vegetarian option.
Opening times: Brunch at Minnow is served 8-3 Monday-Friday, and 9-4 on Saturdays and Sundays.
Best Bottomless Brunch in Clapham
6. Tropix – Clapham High Street
Name a better start to the weekend than a bottomless brunch… I’ll wait!
Tropix is a famous bottomless brunch spot in Clapham thanks to its tropical ambiance and drinks. For £42.50 you can enjoy endless prosecco and cocktails for two hours whilst you dine.
Aside from the drinks, the food menu also meets expectations. Nachos, chicken wings, pancakes, French fries, pasta, and salads are just some of the offerings.
Moreover, Tropix’s live music, sharing platters, and funky tropical decor make it the perfect setting to catch up with friends. It’s the go-to destination for a classy brunch in Clapham!
Opening times: The bottomless brunch is served at 5 pm or 6 pm on Mondays to Friday (pretty late, right?!), 12pm to 6pm on Saturdays, and there are two brunch sittings on Sundays – 3pm and 6pm.
7. Perky Nel – Clapham South
The warm and inviting Perky Nel in Clapham is actually a pub – not a traditional place to get brunch. However, it’s the perfect place to get brunch in Clapham if some of your party want to drink and others don’t – the choice is yours!
Surprisingly, the Perky Nel’s brunch menu is varied and exciting – going beyond the classic, run-of-the-mill brunch dishes. Star dishes on its succinct brunch menu include fried chicken and waffles, and a sausage muffin with a free-range egg.
As well as tea, coffee, juices, and, of course, beers, the Perky Nel offers a few brunch cocktails to accompany your meal, including the “Bloody Good Mary”, the “Peckham Paloma” and the “Cranberry Spritz”. Yum!
There’s a bottomless boozy brunch option at the Perky Nel in Clapham. For just £25 you get to enjoy unlimited prosecco or beer for 90 minutes.
Opening times: Brunch is only served on weekends at the Perky Nel – on Saturdays from 11am-4pm, and Sundays 11am-1pm.
8. The Clapham North Pub – Clapham North
Does everything at The Clapham North Pub feel a bit… familiar? There’s a reason for that – The Clapham North Pub is the sibling pub to the Perky Nel. You can rest assured that here you’ll get an epic Clapham breakfast or brunch in a cosy pub, with the option to go for a fun bottomless brunch.
The Clapham North Pub is larger than the Perky Nel, so if you can’t get a table there, this is another great brunch option!
Every Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holiday you’re able to enjoy The Clapham North Pub’s bottomless brunch option, which costs £25 and offers unlimited prosecco Bellinis, Bloody Marys, or Aperol Spritzes for 90 minutes!
Opening times: Like the Perky Nel, Brunch at The Clapham North Pub is served on Saturdays from 11am until 4pm. and Sundays from 11am until 1pm.
9. Aquum – Clapham High Street
Does a bottomless brunch at Tropix seem a little pricey? How about £19 for 90 minutes of unlimited prosecco and a one-of-a-kind Greek menu at Aquum?
The head chef at Aquum, Anastasios Tologlou, is incredible. He previously worked at Dinner, a restaurant by Heston Blumenthal, which gives you a good idea of the quality of food you can expect at Aquum. The authentic Greek dishes here, such as Yemista and Souvlaki, are fan favourites.
On top of that, Aquum has an outdoor terrace, perfect for enjoying brunch in Clapham in the summer when the sun is out! It is gorgeous, and the view is mesmerizing.
Opening times: The bottomless brunch at Aquum is served only on weekends – 12 noon till 4:45 pm.
10. The Abbeville – Clapham South
Another wonderfully cosy pub in Clapham that offers bottomless brunch is The Abbeville, where you can enjoy one main course brunch dish as well as 90 minutes of bottomless drinks for just £35. It’s one of the cheapest bottomless brunch spots in Clapham!
Not only is it affordable, but you get so much choice! Here, your boozy brunch isn’t just limited to prosecco or beer. Nope, at The Abbeville, you can choose from pretty much anything – wine, Bloody Marys, Bellinis, Mimosas, and more!
Of course, you’re also welcome to dine here for a sober, non-boozy brunch. In terms of the brunch dishes you can choose from at the Abbeville, their select menu includes baked Turkish eggs, steak and eggs, and eggs benedict. What can I say – eggs are their speciality!
Opening times: Brunch is served at The Abbeville on Saturdays from 10am-3pm and Sundays from 10am-1pm.
