Brunch in London has become something of an institution, and two spots stand out for very different reasons. Ask For Janice, Barbican Ask For Janice is a café and bar near the Barbican with a look that’s hard to fault. Think rustic wooden furniture, a corner couch, brick walls painted white, exposed concrete pillars and plenty of greenery. It’s a relaxed, welcoming space that works just as well for a lazy weekend brunch as it does for a drink later in the day. Cornercopia, Brixton Cornercopia in Brixton is a good choice when you want to mark an occasion. It’s the kind of place that suits a farewell brunch with a friend before a big trip — somewhere you can take your time, eat well and say goodbye properly.
