I’ve made no secret of my love for The Third Estate.
This London-based vegan shoe store and ethical boutique is the best place in the capital for compassionate fashionistas… and also non-fashiony people like me! Most of the shoes I’ve bought over the past decade have come from The Third Estate.
Following the success of the Kentish Town store and their online store, The Third Estate has a second physical location inside Greenwich Market.

I’ve been vegan for over two and a half decades and one comment I am completely worn out by is, “I would be vegan but I could never give up cheese’.
While that might have been more believable back when I became vegan (didn’t stop me though!), in 2026 there are so many delicious vegan alternatives that giving up cheese doesn’t feel like a hard ask anymore.
And if you want to convince someone just how incredible vegan cheese can be, send them this vegan cheese starter bundle from online grocery store Saporia.
