Best Breakfast & Brunch in Clapham & Battersea
1. NO 32 The Old Town
Some places just scream morning brunch, No 32 is one of them.
Made for socialising the all-day brunch hub sits on a first-floor roof terrace with miles of Clapham Common views to enjoy.
If that wasn’t good enough, they also curate playlists specifically for brunching, talk about a Clapham brunch.
Must-Try: House Made Bircher Bowl
2. The Breakfast Club (Battersea Location)
Time to rise and shine by the river, brunch in Battersea style. Biasedly speaking The Breakfast Club is one of my favourite breakfast spots in London (no matter the location).
The daytime cafe serves oodles of American favourites; from pillow-like pancakes to disco hash browns.
Plus their Battersea branch is one of the only locations that serve bottomless brunch — win!
And in case you’re wondering, yes, there is a Breakfast Pub.
Must-Try: Classic All-American
3. Lost Society
The Lost Society will make you rethink what it means to do breakfast (in a good way).
Their bottomless brunch is a Clapham and Battersea brunch favourite, including endless mimosas or bubbles and on-arrival drinks (Mexican Coconut & Lychee Martini anyone?).
Chow it down with all the avo on toast you can handle or a classic Full English.
Must-Try: The Very Full Breakfast
4. BabaBoom
Honestly, you should visit BabaBoom for the name alone, but I digress.
Now if you’re looking for a typical brunch in Clapham, BabaBoom isn’t it.
But if you like kebabs (and not just the 2am on a night out on a dodgy street corner kind) they’re calling your name.
Indulge over their charcoal cooked highlights (like their cauliflower infused kebab) and pair with mouthwatering craft beers and homemade hummus to match.
Must-Try: Chargrilled Cauliflower Kebab
5. The Candlemaker
Step into BBQ heaven at The Candlemaker.
Back by popular demand you can indulge in their Saturday brunch with your fill of a SMOK’D Full English and Fried Chicken Waffle Burger, to name a few.
Must-Try: Fried Chicken Waffle Burger
6. The Nel
Sometimes all your want for your breakfast in Clapham is a dog-friendly pub and a solid (or liquid) brunch. Hello The Nel.
The no-fuss sit down overlooks Clapham Common and is perfect for switching from your football to a Bloody Mary in minutes.
Must-Try: Huevos Rancheros or Truffled Eggs Benedict
7. Brickwood
Brickwood is the kind of place you meet that friend you said you’d catch up with weeks ago but you forgot so you make up for it with a really good brunch spot.
The local gem is known for their friendly staff, Brekkie Burritos and amazing bread and coffee, inspired fully by Australian and New Zealand cafe culture.
Must-Try: Brickwood Burrito
