The Best Pancake Day Spots in London
Shrove Tuesday, alternatively (and deliciously) also known as Pancake Day, is soon upon us! Celebrate the sweetest day of the year with a plate of stacked goodness from the yummiest spots in the city. We all love a pancake, but the more important question is - how do you like your toppings? Are you a lover of all things simple and prefer a drizzle of syrup or sugar and lemon? Or do you prefer a chocolately drenching of Nutella? No matter what your go-to choice is, these London spots have tons of toppings to pair perfectly with a sensational serving of pancakes.
1. Where The Pancakes Are
This all-day pancake restaurant offers a delicious range of savoury and sweet options, so no matter the time or the craving, there's always something to satisfy those taste buds. To celebrate Pancake Day, they've created a delicious Pop Pancake Special, a sweet stack covered with popcorn, chocolate-covered popping candy, sprinkles, and popcorn-cookie-dough ice cream. Join them this pancake day for magician performances and a chance to be served a Lucky Charm pancake.
Locations: Check out one of their three stores in Battersea, Fitzrovia, or London Bridge.
2. The Breakfast Club
With tons of venues across London, book a table with The Breakfast Club to spend Pancake Day indulging in their super fluffy stacks. Connoisseurs of thick, American-style pancake stacks, they offer a mouth-watering sweet version with syrup, berries, and a huge dollop of cream (with a vegan option too), or a lip-smacking savoury version topped with bacon and sausages. This year, they're partnering with the famous Tony's Chocolonely to release TWO delicious pancake specials...

3. Fuwa Fuwa
If you're a lover of fluffy pancakes, then it doesn't get any better than Fuwa Fuwa. For pancakes that are as fluffy (and they're extremely fluffy) as they are adorable, this one-stop pancake shop is known for Japanese souffle pancakes with a wibbly wobbly centre. We recommend trying out the lotus Bischoff special, blueberry and yuzu cheesecake, summer fruits, and their premium original.
Location: Soho and Canary Wharf
4. Badiani
Perhaps you're more in favour of a crêpe than a fluffy pancake, if so then Badiani Gelato's got you this Pancake Day! Drop by to order a dreamy crêpe and choose from 26 mouth-watering gelato flavours to pile on top. You can even pick out some delicious sauces to drizzle over your Tuesday treat, such as pistachio, white chocolate, caramel, and bruna (hazelnut and chocolate).

5. My Old Dutch
No one takes Pancake Day as seriously as My Old Dutch do! Since 1958, My Old Dutch has been London's original pancake house, offering a range of fluffy treats from their à la carte, butterscotch, kids, gluten-free, and vegan menus. Join the line outside one of their three venues to tuck into dishes from their delicious menu. With an array of tasty toppings, you can make them as sweet or as savoury as you like.
Locations: Dine out in one of their three London locations including Chelsea, Holborn, and Kensington.
