I truly believe that the Southbank is London at its best!

Sitting beside the iconic River Thames, the Southbank is at the heart of the capital’s cultural scene and is home to theatres, restaurants and historic pubs aplenty.

As expected from somewhere that has loads of great eateries, there are also lots of fantastic places to go for bottomless brunch on the Southbank!

From outdoor brunches with breathtaking views to drag brunches with live DJs, there’s something for everyone here.

So without further ado, scroll on to discover the 9 best places to go for bottomless brunch on the Southbank!

Price: From £35 per person

Listen up, dim sum lovers because I might have just found your new favourite bottomless brunch on the Southbank!

Ping Pong is a popular dim sum and cocktail restaurant that plays host to two epic bottomless brunches.

First off, you’ve got their Saturday Bottomless Brunch.

It costs £35 and gets you 90 minutes of bottomless booze, a delicious dim sum selection menu, and some groovy tunes to boot!

The drinks you’ll be enjoying are wine, beer, bubbles, and cocktails, so you’ve got a great selection here, too.

However, if that wasn’t enough food for you, why not join Ping Pong for their Lazy Sumday deal instead?

For an extra fiver, this £40 deal not only gets you unlimited cocktails for 90 minutes but you’ll get unlimited dim sum, too.

Yep, you read that correctly – all-you-can-eat dim sum!

If you go for this offer, you’ll get to try everything from crispy duck spring rolls to black prawn dumplings.

And you’ll be pleased to hear that it’s all super delicious.

Even better yet, they have a plant-based Lazy Sumday option so that no one needs to miss out on the fun!

2. Sea Containers Restaurant

Address: 20 Upper Ground, London SE1 9PD

Phone number: 020 3747 1063

Price: From £19 per person + price of brunch dish

For a bottomless brunch on the Southbank with a view, head to the brilliant Sea Containers Restaurant.

Here, you’ll be paying £19 to indulge in bottomless booze, so long as you also order a brunch dish to soak the alcohol up with.

Luckily, their brunch menu has all kinds of deliciousness on it, including shakshuka, mac and cheese, and a smoked salmon bagel.

Or, for an alternative bottomless brunch, you can order a roast to accompany your free-flowing drinks instead.

From whole grilled seabass to roast chicken to Boston rib of beef, their roasts are of the highest quality.

Whatever you order, you’ll get to wash it down with 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco or bloody Mary for £19, or alternatively, Laurent-Perrier La Cuvée for £59.

Champagne or not, this sure is one sophisticated bottomless brunch!

If this all sounds as good to you as it does to me, then you can enjoy this brunch every Saturday and Sunday from noon to 3:30 pm.

3. Between the Bridges

Address: The Queen’s Walk, London SE1

Price: £28 per person

Between the Bridges is one of the most fun places to go for bottomless brunch on the Southbank.

Filled with all kinds of debauchery, their Drag Race Brunch will see you drinking, dancing, and dining to your heart’s content – with a whole load of drag thrown in for good measure!

Their bottomless brunch costs just £28 per person.

For this price, you get a live performance from a star of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, non-stop drag anthems from live DJs, and an hour of bottomless Prosecco to get you suitably boozy.

Expect games, prizes, and a shedload of fun!

As you can see, the £28 ticket doesn’t come with food but don’t worry because there are plenty of great street food vendors on-site for you to order from.

Serving nothing but tasty grub, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to the vendors at Between the Bridges.

Whether it’s sensational sourdough pizza, moreish mac and cheese, or a banging BBQ, even the pickiest of eaters will be happy here!

Take a look at their Drag Brunch calendar and book in for a party you won’t forget.

Address: Gabriel’s Wharf, 56 Upper Ground, London SE1 9PP

Phone number: 020 3034 0791

Price: £38 per person

It should come as no surprise that bottomless brunch on the Southbank generally means being treated to some spectacular river views – and Paradiso is no exception!

Bottomless brunch costs just £38 per person at this riverside restaurant, for which you get bottomless booze and one main meal or two smaller plates.

There’s a great selection of drinks here (beer, mimosa, and brunch cocktails), and you’ll have a brilliant 90 minutes to enjoy them!

As for food, you’re in for a treat no matter what you order.

Paradiso is known for its burgers (which I can totally vouch for) but they have a great selection of small plates, too.

We’re talking mushroom croquettes, bang bang cauliflower, cheeseburger tacos, and the list goes on…

Plant-based eaters need not worry, either, as the menu has a brilliant vegan burger for you to tuck into!

Try bottomless brunch at one of my favourite rooftop bars on the Southbank every Saturday and Sunday.

5. Skylon

Address: Belvedere Rd, Royal Festival Hall, London SE1 8XX

Phone number: 020 7654 7800

Price: £21 per person + price of brunch dish

If you fancy treating yourself this weekend, look no further than Skylon.

Skylon is an airy and modern European restaurant that is one of the more expensive spots to go for a bottomless brunch on the Southbank.

To enjoy their brunch, you’ll be paying £29.50 for two courses or £35 for three courses, as well as an additional £21 per person for 90 minutes of unlimited Prosecco or Bordeaux.

Very few places serve red wine with bottomless brunch so if you’re a big wine drinker, this might just be the brunch for you.

As for food, their brunch menu truly is the stuff of dreams!

If you have a savoury tooth, order one of their starters.

From eggs Royale and smashed avocado on toast to creamed cauliflower soup and quinoa salad, there are plenty of dishes for you to choose from!

Alternatively, if you have a big sweet tooth, you’ll love their chocolate ganache, lemon tart, and seasonal fruit crumble.

As for mains, I’d highly recommend the grilled Mediterranean half chicken.

However, a sirloin steak always goes down a treat, too!

6. The Green Room

Address: 101 Upper Ground, London SE1 9PP

Phone number: 020 3034 0991

Price: £37.50 per person

The Green Room looks like it was plucked straight out of Italy or France, not the Southbank!

This popular bar and restaurant not only has a stunning timber-framed indoor pavilion but it also has a covered, heated garden from which you can enjoy their brilliant bottomless brunch.

They host bottomless brunch every single Saturday between 11 am and 4 pm, where they serve up eclectic dishes, tasty booze, and non-stop tunes from a live DJ!

For £37.50 per person, you’ll get either one large plate or two small plates, washed down with a whopping two hours of bottomless Prosecco, beer, or their brunch cocktail.

How generous is that?!

Their large plate menu is the stuff of dreams.

And it especially appeals to veggies and vegans as half the menu is plant-based!

However, if you fancy trying two small plates instead, I’d recommend ordering the two Copper Maran eggs on toasted sourdough and the hummus with tahini, crispy chickpeas, and house flatbread.

Yum!

7. Jewel of London

Phone number: 0207 118 1281

Price: £42 per person

For one of the most unique places to go for bottomless brunch on the Southbank, look no further than Jewel of London.

Okay, so technically, this brunch actually takes place on the Thames as it’s a bottomless brunch party cruise.

But it leaves from the Southbank which is close enough, right?

And if ‘bottomless brunch party cruise’ isn’t music to your ears, I’m not sure what will be! 

This brunch is heaps of fun and it only costs £42 per person which is amazing value for money.

For this price, you get a three-hour cruise, 90 minutes of bottomless Prosecco, a live DJ, and a picnic-style brunch (with veggie and vegan options available).

I told you it was good, didn’t I?!

The boat is spacious, with an indoor dancefloor and two large outside decks to move between.

(I’d recommend staying out on the decks so you can properly enjoy the views of the capital’s most iconic landmarks.)

Check out the Jewel of London’s calendar and hop onboard for one of the most fun bottomless brunches in London!

Las Iguanas is great, and their bottomless brunch offer is even greater.

For this price, you get a delicious main course and two hours of unlimited cocktails, Corona, Prosecco or mocktails.

Phew, that’s a lot!

Their food menu is just as diverse, with dishes from Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Cuba and beyond.

Pick your favourite dish and get ready for a Latin American fiesta every single day of the week at Las Igaunas.

Last but by no means least, Giraffe is another of the cheaper places to go for bottomless brunch on the Southbank.

Their bottomless brunch is simple: pay £29 and you’ll get 90 minutes of free-flowing Prosecco, cocktails, and Peroni, and one delicious brunch dish.

Unsurprisingly for Giraffe, their brunch menu is globally-inspired, ranging from smashed avocado on toast to pulled beef birria tacos.  

They even serve a classic fish finger sandwich if you fancy going old school! 

My favourite option, though, is the veggie Mexican tostada plate.

This bottomless brunch is available every single day of the week from 11 am to 4 pm.

Because who can say no to a spot of mid-week brunching?!

 

So that concludes the best places to go for bottomless brunch on the Southbank!

The Southbank is always so much fun to visit but when combined with unlimited drinks, it really comes into its own.
