London is known to be one of, if not the most vegan-friendly city in the world. With so much buzz lately on London, we figured we’d go ahead and give you a little more!

London ranked No. 1 in the world on HappyCow’s Top 10 Vegan Friendly Cities List 2019. This doesn’t come as a surprise, many of us having already heard, or had the chance to experience first-hand, how wonderful the city’s vegan food scene truly is. The Top 10 Cities List was published in December of 2019, and after letting the results sink in, I couldn’t help but wonder: (1) When was…
We Are Vegan Everything The creators of WAVE wanted to create a place where people could eat tasty, home cooked food away from the hustle of London stress and feel right at home. They are so inspired by home cooking. Every time they make something or eat something amazing they can’t wait to tell each other, trying to recreate childhood meals too, into a modernized vegan version. WAVE strives for food…
London is truly a melting pot of tastes from all corners of the world. Every fleeting food interest that has crossed my mind while staying in the city has been quickly satisfied by a HappyCow search. Last time I passed through the city, my craving of the moment just happened to be vegan junk food. After consulting my maps, I was ecstatic but unsurprised to find that my longing would…

As they say in real estate: Location, Location, Location. While touring around London, I passed by a vegan café in an unlikely place; right under a rail station. Quaintly placed below the station’s bridge, The Fields Beneath is a phenomenal little spot to enjoy a coffee or latte and watch the world pass by. I brought a non-vegan friend along with me to share in the experience (and so that…
Amidst the electric thrill, the noisy energy, and the traffic of eccentrically-styled humans buzzing through London’s Seven Dials streets, lies a respite of woodsy tranquility within Wild Food Café. Figure 1. Wild Food Café’s cheery exterior. This plant-based and organic restaurant has established itself as a leader in innovative taste and environmental sustainability. The menu is free of sugar, gluten, and excessively processed ingredients, but is instead replete with…
Very near the center of the city, 100 yards down the road after taking a left out of Goodge Street Station, lies some of the healthiest food in London. Vantra Eden’s fare, its sign proclaims, contains “No Dairy, No Gluten, No Sugar, No Fried Food, Non GMO, No Peanuts & Cashew, No Garlic, No Vinegar, No Artificial Chemicals, No Unhealthy Cooking Methods – Vegan, Raw & Steamed, Halal & Kosher…
Being a lover of all things vegan, travel and afternoon tea has seen me seek out the world’s absolute top experiences for spoiling oneself while partaking in this very British tradition with a vegan twist. These are, in my opinion, the three most exquisite places in the world where you can enjoy an vegan afternoon tea in an elegant setting: Fortnum & Mason, London This very British institution actually offers…
When I was a vegetarian I felt that I faced less moral dilemmas than I do as a vegan. The moral debate of ‘is it better to eat meat if it is going to waste or refuse it and let it be thrown away’, is one that I am sure will continue for many years, but as a strict veggie it was a debate for me that needed no further conversation.…
Passion. If you were looking to describe London’s newest vegan and raw food restaurant, Saf, or the Director and Executive Chef at Saf, Chad Sarno, in one word – passion – would be that word. I sat down with Sarno just over a month after Saf (meaning ‘pure’ in Turkish) had opened its doors, a busy man, he sits down with a smile and a glass of water and within…
