5 Unmissable Vegan Places in London

An increasing number of people today are becoming vegans, and if you are one of them and visiting the capital of the UK, you may be wondering where the best restaurants you can go to eat out at are located. So, let us take a look at five unmissable vegan places in London.

1. Wulf & Lamb

The Wulf & Lamb sounds like restaurant for meat-eaters but it is actually a 100% vegan eatery that has recently opened in Sloane Square and is proving very popular with customers. Here you can sample the mischievously named Chili ‘Non’ Carne and the spicy bean-burger known as “The Wulf.”

2. Fed By Water

Fed By Water, as all growing plants, indeed, are, this vegan gourmet eating place in Hackney specialises in Mediterranean-style food, including pastas, pizzas and calzones, but all are exclusively plant-based. This restaurant promotes an alkaline vegan diet, and in keeping with its name only uses purified water in preparing your meals. They also stock vegan wines and craft beers to wash down your food.

3. Govinda’s

Govinda’s is a popular vegetarian and vegan restaurant in Soho that is run by the Radha-Krishna Temple. This means that all food is offered to Lord Krishna first and is technically known as “prashadam.” It is believed that this makes the meals “karma-free” for those eating them. Besides strictly no meat or fish used in any of the dishes served at Govinda’s they also do not use mushrooms, garlic or onions because of religious beliefs. Don’t worry though because the food they do sell is delicious, and it is certainly a bit different eating food first offered to a Hindu deity.

4. Club Mexicana

Club Mexicana is a Mexican street-food eatery with an all vegan-friendly menu that has found a permanent home in Haggerston. Here you can enjoy such delicacies as stuffed jalapeno peppers and masa pancakes with pumpkin-seed puree. The Mexican vegan street-food specialists who run this had already made a name for themselves serving their dishes across London. This restaurant is now deservedly famous for its bbq pulled jackfruit tacos. Rebecca Seal of The Standard, once listed Club Mexicana’s tacos as in the Top 3 in London.

5. 222 Vegan Cuisine

222 Vegan Cuisine is  a vegan restaurant in West Kensington and serves a 100% vegan-friendly menu that serves lunchtime vegan buffets as well as candlelit evening meals. Its chef Ben Asamani is internationally recognised for his skills. This eating place bills itself as “London’s favourite vegan restaurant,” and promises a “unique dining experience.”

There is plenty of choice for vegans in London nowadays and the vegan diet is a growing trend. But if you are only in the city for the day, it makes good sense to book into one of the hotels by the hour in London via DayBreakHotels.com. This is because these hotels offer a private space where you can leave any shopping you have done, store your travel baggage, and freshen up in before you depart.
