Best Vegan & Vegetarian Restaurants in London

London has one of the strongest plant-based food scenes of any major city — driven partly by a large South Asian vegetarian community with centuries of culinary tradition, and partly by a newer wave of dedicated vegan restaurants.

South Indian Vegetarian

Drummond Street near Euston has several excellent, inexpensive South Indian vegetarian restaurants — dosas, thalis and genuinely traditional cooking that predates the recent vegan food trend by decades. Tooting has similar options at a South London remove.

Dedicated Vegan Restaurants

London's dedicated vegan restaurant scene has grown substantially — from casual (vegan burger and fast-food style spots across the city) to fine dining (several high-end vegan tasting menu restaurants have opened in the past five years, particularly around Shoreditch and Notting Hill).

Where to Look

Camden Market and Borough Market both have strong vegan street food stalls. Shoreditch and Dalston have the highest concentration of dedicated vegan cafes and restaurants in the city.

Tips

• Drummond Street's South Indian vegetarian restaurants are some of the best value food in London, vegan or not.
• Most London restaurants now clearly mark vegan and vegetarian options on their menus.
• Shoreditch and Dalston have the strongest concentration of dedicated vegan restaurants.
