We’ve never successfully won a game of Trivial Pursuit, we’ve remembered nothing from GCSE French and still don’t understand the offside rule in football.

What we do know is brunch. There’s just nothing better than Sunday brunch in London. If restaurants are dishing up either bottomless, budget or beautiful brunches, we’re eating it. We’ve found the best places to brunch in London this weekend:

1. For a Spicy Brunch: Chai Ki

What: Honest Burgers is a great shout for all your beef needs. Their burgers are out of this world and that bacon ketchup is something else. Did you know that Honest Burgers knock up brunch fare on the weekends? We didn’t either until recently, boy are we happy we discovered it.
