American Brunch · Islington

The Breakfast Club has been feeding London families for two decades and the Islington branch at Camden Passage is one of the best. All-day brunch format means pancakes at any hour, the kids menu is genuinely well-designed, and the playful American diner atmosphere means even the wait on busy weekends feels fun. Expect queues on Saturday mornings.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
