London's best brunch + Test Driving Johnny Boy's, new offers, best of London Bridge, new openings & more...

EDITOR'S LETTER

If you thought brunch was more about pitchers of cocktails and dancing on tables than what's on your plate, then today's brunch guide aims to show you another way to start the weekend. We're not saying you won't have fun, but you will also remember what you ate, and that's a good thing, right?

Somewhere that's definitely bringing the fun to Stoke Newington is new LA diner Johnny Boy's. Our Test Drive is up and we are still thinking extremely fondly of the patty melt we had there.
