Pairing brilliant books with bottomless brunch and friendly discussions

📚 Across London Monthly Beginner-friendly Social Contemporary fiction

Imagine sharing a brilliant novel over a plate of delicious poached eggs and a glass of bubbly. Born in 2019, the Brunch Book Club reads through an exciting, diverse library of books sourced from BookTok, Bookstagram, and publisher highlights.

We love to keep things highly interactive. We start by discussing the monthly pick online using thoughtful, inclusive prompts, and then we meet in person for a delicious brunch at a rotating selection of gorgeous London hotspots, from No 32 The Old Town in Clapham to The 411. It's the ultimate way to enjoy great food, prosecco, and lively opinions in the company of warm, welcoming friends. Come along and join our international table!

Real stories of people who found their people in London.

Stephen Pryce · 11 June 2026 I couldn't remember the last time I'd made a new friend. Then I made one at 41. My friendships had quietly thinned out over a decade, and I'd stopped believing new ones were still possible at my age. A weekly board game night proved me wrong. Bridget Lawson · 18 June 2026 I look after my mum full time. A Saturday walk is the one hour that's mine. Caring for someone you love can quietly erase you. This is about the morning I started walking with a group of strangers, and how one hour a week gave me back to myself. Erin Walsh · 16 June 2026 Socialising never made sense to me. At a board game night, the rules were finally written down. As an autistic adult, the unspoken rules of socialising always left me lost and exhausted. A board game night was the first place the rules were actually explicit - and I could finally relax.
