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.
