London vegan news, reviews & events
I have written about The Gate restaurant many times over the years.
It is one of London’s best-known vegetarian restaurants and has long been regarded as one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in the world. For many years, it has also offered a completely plant-based menu, making it a destination for people who want to enjoy creative food without animal products.
Imagine my sadness, then, when an email promoting the restaurant’s latest menu landed in my inbox recently.

Josh and I love to moan on the podcast and this week’s episode is no exception to that rule.
We spend a fair amount of time discussing the London bus network and why it is often frustrating. I share my pet peeves with being a mass transport user and we compare the bus system of Mexico City and Brisbane. It’s definitely one for the transport geeks out there!
We also spend time discussing what happens to our digital footprints once we die. How easy (or difficult) is it for our next of kin to take ownership of electronic files and accounts?

And that includes the completely over the top vegan Sunday roasts!
