Located in the halls of an old Victorian warehouse, this is the place to be for more than just brunch. The Book Club is a haven for all thinkers, typers, workers and people who just want someplace to go and relax. The breakfast menu offers full English, avocado with lime, pesto scrambled eggs, buttermilk pancakes and thick porridge.

The Book Club definitely takes Sunday brunches to a whole new level.
