London vegan news, reviews & events
I found a new (to me) vegan chocolate brand in a North London shop today and was initially rather excited.

I am asking the vegan community to come together and support Lianna, the brilliant independent business owner behind LD’s Kitchen, after she was assaulted and robbed on her way home from work.

Imagine my sadness, then, when an email promoting the restaurant’s latest menu landed in my inbox recently.
