Brunch in London has become something of a weekend institution, and two spots stand out for very different reasons. Ask For Janice, Barbican Ask For Janice sits in the Barbican area and has a look that is hard to resist: rustic wooden furniture, a couch tucked into the corner, white-painted brick walls, exposed concrete pillars and plenty of greenery. If that sounds like your idea of a dream café interior, it delivers on atmosphere as much as on food. Cornercopia, Brixton Cornercopia in Brixton is another strong option for breakfast or brunch. It also works well for a special occasion — the kind of place you might choose to mark a send-off before a friend heads off travelling around the world. Both are worth keeping in mind when you are planning a leisurely weekend meal in the city.
