Sunday, Islington
Cool, laid back, and tucked away on a quiet street Sunday in Islington is an excellent choice for brunch in London. Before I go further, I would recommend visiting on a weekday if possible, it’s very small but popular, so weekends are tricky to find a table!
Unlike most places in London, Sunday is pretty reasonable with their pricing so it’s no mystery why people are willing to queue to get a seat. Their toasted banana bread comes in at £3.50, eggs any way on sourdough toast £6 and granola with Greek yoghurt, honey and fresh fruit is £5.50.
