"Like eating ice cream in bed or getting a nipple piercing during your punk phase, having brunch in South Kensington just makes sense. A classic Saturday morning game plan is fuelling up on tasty things, so that you have enough emotional and physical strength for a day of shopping and checking out the latest exhibitions. On that note, we give you Brompton Food Market. Tucked behind Thurloe Place, this lowkey grocery and deli has a covered secret garden situation which serves big-deal brunch dishes. In our humble opinion, their full English is one of the best in west London. Don’t skip the smoothies either. Or get involved in the shakshuka at buzzing coffee spot, Fernandez and Wells. If that place happens to be characteristically rammo, then you also can’t go wrong with a lowkey brunch situation at the homely café inside the Institut Francais, Café Tangerine." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
