The Black Penny | Sloane Square

You'll find yourself on the pedestrianised stretch of Duke of York Square where the coffee's hot and the avocado toast doesn't taste like a cliché. The Black Penny does the weekend brunch thing without the insufferable Instagram posturing—think solid eggs, proper pastries, and staff who actually know what they're doing. It's the kind of place Chelsea locals queue for on Saturday mornings, where you can nestle into a corner booth and lose a couple of hours over a flat white and smashed eggs on sourdough.
