30+ Best Vegan Restaurants in London

Did you know that London was voted the #1 Top Vegan-Friendly City of 2025 according to a recent study by Happy Cow. It’s no surprise then, that we have more readers in London than in any other city.

London has become one of the vegan capitals of the world. So we had to highlight some of the very best vegan restaurants in London that are inspiring massive waves of people to embrace a plant-based lifestyle.

Whether you’re looking for vegan afternoon tea in London, vegan bakeries, vegan brunch or breakfast spots in London, vegan butchers, or fine dining, we’ve got you covered. To help uncover the best spots, I turned to our very own Bea, World of Vegan’s Director of Marketing and Campaigns, who lives in London and knows the vegan scene inside and out.

And if you ever find yourself missing the flavors of home, London has no shortage of all-American meatless burgers to satisfy your cravings. Just remember—here, French fries are called “chips”!

Vegan London Breakfast Spots

If you think Americans like their brunch, just wait until you see how they go about it in the UK. The very concept itself originated in Britain in the 19^th century. For a true brunch done right, you don’t want to miss these incredible vegan spots.

Dishoom

Dishoom is a beloved Bombay-inspired eatery in London, known for its rich flavors, warm ambiance, and legendary breakfasts. While not fully vegan, Dishoom offers a dedicated vegan menu featuring plant-based twists on classic Indian dishes, from their flavorful Vegan Sausage Naan Roll to aromatic curries and small plates. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch or a cozy dinner, this spot delivers an unforgettable dining experience with bold spices and vibrant flavors.

Mildreds

Explore the world on your plate, starting bright and early with a kimchi toastie, harissa scrambled tofu, or a comforting stack of blueberry compote pancakes with maple cream. Find British classics cozied up to Indian curries, Middle Eastern mezze plates, and all the tea you can drink. Weekend brunch is the most popular time to visit, so come early or prepare to wait for a table until the crowd subsides. Don’t forget the classic Butter Rum Sticky Toffee for dessert!

Who goes to the mall for breakfast? Anyone who’s in the know and heads straight to the basement of the Fenwick Mall, that’s who! Morning fare is served until noon, when you can get your fill of fluffy buckwheat pancakes, avocado toast, fresh pressed juices, and a proper “Vinglish” breakfast with meatless sausage, tofu scramble, beans, toast, and the works. It feels like a completely different restaurant when the clock strikes 12, switching over to fish-free sushi, burgers, and quesadillas for lunch and dinner.

The British are renowned for their love of sweets. Rest assured that vegans aren’t left out on that sugar rush. You can feel like a literal kid in a candy shop here, at any age.

Black Cat Cafe

Start with a bracing black coffee at this feline-friendly shop for an instant mood boost, even if the weather is grey and dreary. Though the breakfast specials are sporadic and frequently rotated, you can’t go wrong with any sort of tofu scramble. There are always freshly baked muffins, pastries, and other light nibbles to tide you over through a long morning, too. The chefs pride themselves at rarely following recipes, so don’t expect to ever get the same meal twice; cherish every bite!

Parle Pantry

This beautiful fully vegan cafe located in Chiswick, West London has so many favorites of mine! The vegan almond croissant is amazing and their potato borek is a rare but successful find. They have fresh salads, a New York deli sandwich, and the classic vegan sausage rolls. It is truly worth a visit, and even better if you can combine it with the monthly Chiswick flower market (or their flea market) on a Sunday.

The Vurger Co

Inspired by a fateful trip to the west coast, these burgers are fast, fresh, and keep vegetables front and center. That means you have a wide range of meaty mains at the center of each sandwich, from simple Beyond Meat to crispy fried “chicken, and even a true veggie burger made with eggplant, tempeh, and chickpeas, all pile high with flavorful fixings. If you fall in love with the sauce, you’re not alone; they bottle their mayo and cheezy sauce to take home with you for an edible souvenir.

Vburger

Fans rave that this is the best stall in all of Camden Market, which is quite lofty praise, indeed! As boldly seasoned as they are colored, turmeric-tinted buns practically glow alongside the rainbow of produce nestled within. Make no mistake, these are seriously rich hand-held meals that could satisfy the most monstrous appetites.

Temple of Seitan

If there was ever a vegan butcher of London, it would be Rebecca McGuiness. Working her way up from market stalls, festivals, and special events, her handmade crispy chicken fillets and meaty burgers tasted like a whole different animal from conventional vegan options. There are now seven locations of the wildly popular restaurant across the UK, with a full-scale European invasion planned for the near future. Try the Temple Burger, made with a southern fried seitan fillet, ranch mayo, lettuce, pickles, and seitan bacon, and you’ll become a believer too.

Honest Burgers

Honest Burgers is a popular London spot known for its juicy, handmade burgers and laid-back atmosphere. Offering a variety of plant-based options, including the standout Bacon Plant burger with a Beyond Meat patty and La View plant-based bacon, it’s the perfect place for a casual, satisfying meal. With locally sourced ingredients and a focus on quality, Honest Burgers is a must-visit for burger lovers, vegan and non-vegan alike.

Leytonstone Tavern

Leytonstone Tavern is a cozy neighborhood pub in East London with a strong focus on delicious, plant-based comfort food. Their menu features a variety of vegan options, including juicy vegan burgers, and indulgent Sunday roasts with all the trimmings. With a welcoming atmosphere and a great selection of drinks, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxed meal with friends or family.

Juice Baby

This little cafe is located in one of the coolest parts of Westbourne Grove. It already has it’s regulars so avoid going at peak lunch hours. Apart from the freshest and greenest juices, this place has the best Açaí Bowl I’ve ever eaten! They are massive and rich with special made chocolate granola on top. If that’s not enough to lure you in, let me tell you that you can find delicious sandwiches and salads to go or eat in.

Psst! A little tip… you can buy their granola to take home with you!

Best Vegan London Afternoon Tea Spots

No trip to London is complete without afternoon tea! Slow down, take a seat, and enjoy a gorgeous array of delicately decorated pastries, savory snacks, and sip-able tea. These are just a few of the many vegan afternoon tea options London has for you.

Farmacy Afternoon Tea

Farmacy is a stylish plant-based restaurant in London, known for its nourishing, organic dishes and beautifully presented vegan afternoon tea. Their afternoon tea spread features an array of delightful treats, including fluffy scones with house-made jam, delicate finger sandwiches, and decadent pastries like raw chocolate tarts and lemon poppy-seed cake. Paired with herbal teas or botanical cocktails, it’s the perfect spot for an elegant and indulgent plant-based experience.

Brigit’s Bakery

Brigit’s Bakery is a charming café in London known for its delightful afternoon tea experiences, including a fully vegan option launched in 2018. Their plant-based afternoon tea features a delicious assortment of treats, from freshly-cut sandwiches to vegan quiche, and homemade cakes. You’ll also find beautifully crafted pastries like fruit tarts and rich chocolate macarons, all served with a selection of fine teas—or even a glass of bubbly for an extra special touch. Enjoy it in the cafe, as a picnic, or on their tour bus!

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Afternoon Tea

The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Afternoon Tea at One Aldwych is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind experience inspired by Roald Dahl’s beloved story. With a separate vegan menu, plant-based guests can indulge in creative treats like scrumptious scones with ‘snozzberry’ jam, fabulous fluffy floss (strictly not for dentists!) and imaginative savory bites—all crafted to bring the magic of Willy Wonka’s world to life. Paired with specialty teas or even a fizzy, chocolatey cocktail, this afternoon tea is a must-visit for anyone looking for a playful yet elegant dining experience in London.

Redemption Bar

This small but extremely charming spot near Westbourne Grove is a gem! An exciting but precise menu with starters like “Corn Chips with Turmeric Hummus and Guacamole” and mains such as “Wild Mushroom Black Rice Risotto” (my favorite!). And the dreamiest “Banoffee Pie” with walnuts and coconut whipped cream. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic and would be ideal for a date night or a more formal catch-up with a friend.

Farmacy

This gorgeous place is full of green and makes you feel like you’re sitting in a Pinterest home inspiration board! Guided by Hippocrates’ motto “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” their menu takes healthy to a whole new level. From syringe shots to pharmaceutical teas, you’re sure to leave feeling more zen than ever.

Don’t be scared by the holistic names on the menu though because the food is amazing! Their “Sweet Potato Falafels” are a must, as is their “Mexican Bowl.” But with such a wide selection of beautifully crafted dishes, it’s really hard to choose. I advise you to look at the (very lengthy) menu beforehand and do your homework. One of the coolest things Farmacy offers is the experience of (vegan) High Tea. If you are visiting London this is a must!

Note: Farmacy is reopening at a new location in 2025.

This is a cool place for sure, and very popular! Hidden in a courtyard at the beginning of Portobello Road, you’ll notice the long queues at lunchtime during weekdays. The Australian-inspired vegetarian menu is perfect for a quick brunch with friends and has plenty of vegan options.

From their “Sunny Oats” and “Avocado Toast” to the amazing “Coconut BLT Sandwich” (my go-to!), you’ll love it! This cute spot will support your late-morning breakfast cravings extremely well.

And wait! You cannot leave this spot before trying their beautiful (and yummy!) “Rose Latte” or “Lavender Latte.” And don’t forget to check out their Chelsea location!

The Gate

This cozy restaurant with more than 4 venues across London (Hammersmith, Marleybone, Islington & St Johns Wood), has few dishes but they are something to remember. My favorite is the green dragon salad and the wild mushroom risotto cake, but their chunky herb polenta chips are a must. If you have room for dessert, order the tiramisu!

This is a real hidden gem within the Borough Market, so don’t give up the hunt until you find sweet relief.

You can also find some of these treats in nearby Whole Foods Markets if the original stand eludes you.

Doughnut Time

There’s never a bad time for doughnuts, especially if they’re stuffed with Biscoff cookie butter, drizzled with caramel sauce, or dipped in chocolate fudge glaze. Find a decadent selection of vegan options at the numerous stands around the city, or get them shipped free to anywhere in England, Wales, or mainland Scotland.

Crosstown Doughnuts

Considered a luxury doughnut shop, every bit as much care and attention goes into their line of vegan fried treats. Chia seeds and coconut butter enrich the dough, alongside oat milk, and silken tofu to make the fillings and glazes.
