Choose two potions to brew from the range of molecular potion options, each of which have different traits and effects. So, come on aspiring witches and wizards, get booking this one.

What happens when an interior designer opens her own restaurant? Rock & Rose happens, that’s what. This gorgeous spot in the middle of Richmond is quirky, fun, and serves properly delicious food to boot. Dishes have an Asian fusion theme with classics like chicken Milanese and crispy sea bass sitting alongside dim sum gyoza and miso cod fillets. If you’re planning a private party, THIS is the place to go with the choice of a trendy Funky Room, or the Garden Room for alfresco dining. Trust us, fun restaurants in London don’t get much more fun than this!

Dalston Superstore is an East London icon, and while you may usually associate it with late-night drinks and dancing, you can start the fun even earlier with its camp and colourful drag brunches. Troy Cundy is currently at the helm in the kitchen, and he really makes the most of all the talent that can be found in this part of the capital.

On the menu, you’ll find jazzed up classics such as French toast made with Dusty Knuckle bakery brioche and posh beans on toast which consists of braised smokey porcini borlotti beans on Dusty Knuckle sourdough toast with crispy sage. Wash this all down with an in-house cocktail like the Kingsland Queen or Earl Gay and you might find yourself there till the next morning!

This place is inspired by the all-day brunch cafes of Australia and LA, so you just know it’s going to be a good time! The maximalist interiors — which feature leopard print, sumptuous upholstery and gilded finishes — reflect the loud and lively atmosphere here. You can start things off casually with an Insta-worthy brunch complete with a millennial pink cup of coffee or a Starfish smoothie, before things get a little more vibey when the cocktails come out and the DJ starts to play some bops.

This boujee Mayfair spot is a favourite among celebrities and influencers, so it must be doing something right. It’s full of photogenic corners and features where you can pose for a picture with your chosen cocktail — and there are plenty to choose from! In addition to the classics, there is a range of signature serves with intriguing names such as Avocado Chairman and Blurry and Salty. If you really want to make a night of it, then there’s shisha and cigars available to smoke — you know you’re in for some fun when the cigars come out…
