Wild Thyme London

Tucked away on 2b Thorpebank Rd in West London’s Shepherd’s Bush neighborhood, Wild Thyme London is the kind of place that feels like a local secret, even though it really shouldn’t be. With a cozy atmosphere, outdoor seating, and a menu packed with both comfort and creativity, this charming eatery is winning hearts (and stomachs) across the capital.

Whether you're a Londoner searching for a new go-to brunch spot or a traveler on the hunt for the best Full English in the city, Wild Thyme delivers a warm welcome and serious flavor.

Wild Thyme London is best known for its hearty breakfast dishes and flavor-packed brunch menu, but there’s much more to love here. Sure, the Full English Breakfast is a standout-crispy bacon, golden hash browns, perfectly cooked eggs-but the Vegan Breakfast gives it a real run for its money with grilled tomatoes, sautéed mushrooms, and vibrant avocado.

Looking for something indulgent? The Sweet French Toast is topped with berries and syrup, while the Savoury French Toast with smoked salmon and poached eggs delivers a gourmet twist. Add a side of Prawn Tempura or Grilled Octopus, and you’re in for a true flavor journey.

The restaurant also caters well to the health-conscious crowd. From Avocado Toast to Charcuterie platters, the balance between hearty and healthy is spot-on. Plus, for those after something lighter or plant-based, options like Shakshouka, Smoked Salmon salads, and vegetarian/vegan dishes are thoughtfully put together-not just token add-ons.

Let’s talk drinks. Wild Thyme serves great coffee, and that’s not just a tagline. The Cappuccino and Hot Chocolate come highly recommended, and there’s a wide tea selection for those who prefer something herbal. But the real kicker is their brunch cocktail game-order a Bloody Mary or a chilled glass of wine, and suddenly your morning feels like a mini-holiday. They also serve beer, cocktails, and hard liquor, making this spot ideal for long, relaxed lunches that blend into the afternoon.

Inside, the vibe at Wild Thyme is relaxed and airy, with minimalist decor that feels both modern and inviting. There's wheelchair accessible seating, and the outdoor area is a great spot for soaking up the sun on warmer days.

What sets Wild Thyme apart is its laid-back environment that’s equally suited for solo diners, couples catching up, or even remote workers looking for a change of scenery. Free water refills, quick bites, and a menu that caters to all dietary preferences-from carnivores to vegans-make it a real crowd-pleaser.

The team here knows how to make you feel at home. You won’t find pretentious vibes or rushed service. Instead, expect genuine hospitality, no-contact delivery options, and the flexibility to dine in, take out, or order delivery with ease. Whether you’re lingering over Eggs Benedict or just grabbing a takeaway Chocolate Fondant (yes, that’s a thing, and yes, it’s as good as it sounds), the experience is consistently smooth.

What really makes Wild Thyme shine is how balanced everything feels. It’s not trying too hard to be the “next big thing,” but rather focuses on doing the basics incredibly well-with a few creative flourishes that surprise you in the best way. The Eggs Royal are rich without being overwhelming. The Pork Belly is crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth inside. Even the Salmon Teriyaki hits with bold flavors that wouldn’t be out of place in a dedicated Asian eatery.

Located near bustling Shepherd’s Bush and Westfield London, Wild Thyme is just far enough off the beaten path to offer some peace, but still close to plenty of foot traffic. So whether you're catching a show at the nearby O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire or shopping around the area, it’s the perfect stop to recharge.

We were staying in a part of London new to us and we couldn't have been more thrilled to find Wild Thyme. The food was absolutely delicious - we both had Turkish Eggs that were the perfect summer brunch choice. Even more spectacular was the friendly service provided by one of the servers (maybe the owner?). A truly incredible hidden gem in Shepherd's Bush.

I want to start off with my first impression of this place. As I walked in I was instantly greeted with smiles and lots of care from the staff. I even got a chance to speak to the owners and they were really lovely, down to earth people. I felt welcomed from the beginning and that really added to my experience. Moving onto the food… it was a gastronomic experience. The crispy outside, yet soft inside of the “dirty” hash browns, with the succulent chicken kimchi burger were a really fun pair (I recommend). You can tell that the chefs really had creative freedoms and fun creating this menu. Also I can’t forget about the flat white, it was delicious. I highly recommend this place if you want great service, quality food, and a really welcoming, pleasant environment.

Lovely place , in a quiet residential block with a small terrace. The service is amazing especially Rebecca and Annie ( maybe the names are not totally accurate, forgive me). Food is very tasty. There is a bit of waiting time though. Great coffee too. Would go back again for sure.

We popped in for a Sunday brunch and had an amazing meal. My wife had a tomato based /Harissa / pepper dish with eggs which she loved. My son had fried chicken with waffles which tasted amazing. I went for a more traditional full English breakfast which was beautifully prepared. Their coffee is amazing too.
