Welcome to

Brunch Book Club.

Since July 2019, Brunch Book Club has been reading books and brunching across London. What began as shy enquiry on Facebook has grown into a fully-fledged community of book-loving, mimosa-drinking people.

Our format is simple, we meet once a month to discuss a book and enjoy a bottomless brunch. Our discussions are held online the morning of our event and to really get our critical teeth stuck in we run through a selection of pre-prepared questions. Every member’s view is welcomed, valued and heard. Think of it as our literary pre-drinks. It’s then onto brunch at one of London’s many hotspots. There, we continue our chats, make hilarious memories and form lifelong friendships.

We have created a space that is inclusive, empowering and wickedly fun, so if you don’t fancy taking part in the bottomless part, you have our full support. Even if you’re not from London, if you’re looking to read brilliant books and be part of an incredible community, Brunch Book Club is for you.

April Brunch Book Club

12 Apr 2025

Celebrate spring and Irish storytelling at Brunch Book Club this April! Our book of the month, May All Your Skies Be Blue by Fíona Scarlett, is a heartfelt exploration of love, friendship, and resilience that will leave you inspired.

We’ll start the day with an engaging online discussion of the book’s themes and characters. Then, it’s off to The Prince in West Brompton — a beautifully restored Victorian pub boasting three restaurants, three bars, and a lush floral beer garden. Whether it’s sunshine or rain, The Prince is the perfect setting to enjoy a memorable brunch and great company.

See you at brunch! 🥂📚🥑

May Brunch Book Club

10 May 2025

Spring is in full swing, and so is Brunch Book Club! This May, we’re diving into a bold and brilliant read: Fundamentallyby Nussaibah Yousin, which has just been longlisted for the 2025 Women’s Prize for Fiction. This razor-sharp, darkly funny, and deeply moving novel explores love, faith, and belonging through the unexpected friendship between an East London teenager who joined ISIS and the academic tasked with rehabilitating her. It’s a book that promises to spark some seriously thought-provoking conversations.

As always, we’ll kick things off with our Online Discussion from 10:30am - 12:30pm, where we’ll unpack the novel’s themes, characters, and its audacious take on contemporary issues. Then, in true Brunch Book Club fashion, we’ll head to Paradise Green in Bishopsgate (3:00 - 4:30pm) for a stunning Aussie-inspired brunch in one of the most artful and vibrant dining spaces in London. Expect top-tier coffee, Mediterranean-meets-Asian flavours, and an atmosphere that brings the Gold Coast straight to the City.

Join us for a book that dares to challenge and a brunch that’s nothing short of indulgent. Save your spot now!

See you at brunch! 🥂📚🥑
