Southbank’s brunch restaurants handle the crowds with ease and have no trouble keeping things delicious. Along the Thames, glass-fronted restaurants soak up the light and offer tables with river views. Near the National Theatre and under the London Eye, cafés move smoothly through the weekend, serving up strong coffee and something a little indulgent for good measure. Under the railway arches, newer spots keep it modern with clean lines and curated playlists. Take a look. Finding your next go-to brunch spot is just a scroll away.
