10 best vegan restaurants in London

Vegan dining is thriving in the capital, but where to start?! Check out this selection of some of the best vegan restaurants in London

The Spread Eagle

Claiming the title of London’s first vegan pub, The Spread Eagle in Homerton only serves food and drink derived from non-animal sources. ‘Many people don’t realise that beer and wine are frequently made using animal products,’ Luke says. ‘All of our drinks – the beers, wines and spirits – are vegan, along with all of the pub’s fixtures, fittings, cleaning products and candles. When the opportunity came up, my business partner Sherri-Lee Estabrook and I jumped at the chance to do something different with this pub.’

Club Mexicana, Soho
