I mean, if you’re looking for pancakes in the capital city – surely a spot named ‘Where The Pancakes Are‘ is going to be a pretty good place to start. On Shrove Tuesday, all three of their venues will be extending their opening hours, serving up their delicious signature pancakes from 7am all the way until 10pm. Visitors can expect games, giveaways and free pancakes for the first 25 visitors to mark the occasion.

As the name might suggest, Sunday in Brooklyn was born in Williamsburg, and is beloved for its imaginative takes on American classics. And – unsurprisingly – their Sunday Pancakes, are to die for. The fluffy stacks of pancake-y goodness, topped with hazelnut maple praline and brown butter are a true taste of NYC in the heart of London Town.

3. The Wolseley, Mayfair
Breakfast at The Wolseley is certainly one of London’s mosre boujie affairs. The buzzy Piccadilly hotspot is adored by the likes of Kate Moss and Madonna (making the space even more high-end) – but no one feels out of place here – especially over a stack of their delicious fluffy pancakes loaded with berries, bacon and maple syrup.

4. Granger & Co, Various London Locations

Controversially, Granger & Co insist on referring to their pancakes as “hotcakes”, but a pancake by any other name tastes just as delicious. Their ricotta hotcakes are whipped to peak fluffiness, and topped with honeycomb butter, sliced bananas, and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Delicious.

And oldie but a goldie on London’s breakfast scene is, of course, The Breakfast Club. Open from 7.30am to 9pm on Pancake Day – they’ve announced there are some ‘big plans’ in the pipeline for the big day. What we do already know, however, is that the pancakes are pretty delish and usually come topped with either classic cream and berries, blueberry and maple syrup, or bacon, eggs, sausage, home-style potatoes and a dollop of maple syrup. It’s definitely worth the queue (and the lie down you’ll inevitably need after).
