The 6 Best R&B Brunches in London
Where to find London's best R&B brunches, from the original R'n'Brunch party to newer Saturday sessions across the city.
In short: our top picks are R'n'Brunch Party at Amazing Grace, London Bridge, RNB Brunch London at The 1 Bar, Shoreditch and R&B Brunch London at Lucy Wong, Fitzrovia. 6 places in total, chosen on merit, with the full reasoning below.
An R&B brunch in London runs on old favourites. Think Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child and a DJ who knows exactly when to drop the track everyone has been waiting for since the rum punch arrived. The best ones book proper DJs rather than a laptop on shuffle, and the room fills fast once the first chorus lands. Most of these parties move around different bars rather than sitting in one fixed spot, so always check the exact venue for the date you want before buying tickets. The brand matters more than the building here, though a few venues have become regular homes for one party or another.

R'n'Brunch Party at Amazing Grace, London Bridge
Why we pick itR'n'Brunch was one of the first R&B brunch parties in London and still draws a loyal following to this deconsecrated church, with all female DJs playing two hours of 2000s R&B and hip hop between courses.

RNB Brunch London at The 1 Bar, Shoreditch
Why we pick itThe Saturday session pairs an hour of bottomless rum punch with a DJ set running through old school R&B, dancehall and UK garage, alongside a straightforward brunch menu rather than anything fussy.

Old School R&B Brunch at The Steel Yard, City of London
Why we pick itSet under the arches near Cannon Street, this brunch leans harder into UK garage and 2000s R&B than most, with exposed brick arches and a listed steel crane overhead.

Supa Dupa Fly R&B Brunch at Brix, London Bridge
Why we pick itSupa Dupa Fly takes over Brix on the third Saturday of the month with two courses and an hour of bottomless prosecco or rum punch, built around a hip hop and R&B set rather than chart pop.

Rock The Belles R'n'Brunch at Setlist, Somerset House
Why we pick itRock The Belles brings its R&B brunch to Setlist's riverside terrace at Somerset House, trading the usual basement club setting for daylight and a view of the Thames.

Before you book
Tickets usually run from around £20 for food only to £45 or so for a full two hour bottomless sitting, and the biggest names sell out three to four weeks ahead for Saturday afternoons. Arrive on time for the first hour, since that is when the free flowing drinks are poured before the DJ set builds.
