  • Why I recommend: this one is a great pick for a brunch that captures the sun-soaked feel of Ibiza in London. I think it's ideal for groups who care more about music and atmosphere than unlimited drinks, and who are keen to hear classics - previous guests have included the likes of Brandon Block, Alex P, and Lisa Loud, so you know it's going to be good 

Taking place at The Broadcaster is Ibiza Anthems Brunch. It's an excellent event where you'll enjoy free-flowing canapés on the rooftop before letting loose to top DJs playing the island's soundtracks. 

Your tickets (from £17.50) include entry plus the canapés served between 12pm and 2pm, making it more of a social, grazing-style experience than a sit-down meal. After that, the party ramps up, with DJs and performers keeping things lively well into the afternoon, while later entry tickets are available from 2.30pm for those just coming for the music. With previous guest DJs including Judge Jules and Mark Knight, this one's all about nostalgia.

It's an affordable party tailor-made for dancing with your friends, and it really leans into nostalgia - you'll hear songs you haven't heard in ages, some that'll send you straight back to iconic moments

Get ready for a creative bottomless brunch like no other at Circe's Waterloo, where ancient mythology meets modern party vibes in the Clash of Gods. Choose your allegiance - Team Olympus or Team Underworld - and join Zeus, Medusa, Dionysus, and more for an outrageous, interactive showdown filled with feasting, fun, and fierce competition.
