Most vegan-friendly location in London
I get asked a lot of questions as a vegan blogger based in London. People want to know where they can get a fry up, which beers are vegan and who sells the biggest range of plant-based products.
I am usually able to assist but there has always been a question for which I have struggled to determine an answer. People want to know the most vegan-friendly suburb/location/area in the UK capital.
The problem with London is the vast distances you must travel to find vegan food. Catch the Tube to Edgware for one of the best Loving Huts on the planet to understand what I mean. Vegan business are spread far and wide, making it difficult to name the number one spot for plant eaters.
However, there certainly are hotspots popping up around London where a vegan would have no problem eating their fill. Take Brixton, for example.
Following is a collection of vegan food I stumbled across this weekend as I strolled around the iconic London neighbourhood. From make-shift market stalls to one of the most well-known vegan bakeries in the world, Brixton is certainly not short of cruelty-free food options.
The collection below doesn’t even cover everything on offer in Brixton. There is a raw juice bar, a vegan-friendly pizza restaurant, a falafel stall and much more.
Check out the mouthwatering photos and then let me know in the comments your pick for London’s most vegan-friendly neighbourhood!

Totally get your point here but if we are talking daily access to vegan food (I.e. not just weekly market stalls) then apart from ms cupcake is Brixton that good?
Not sure where else is better – Camden I suppose?
Bethnal Green of course!
YES!
Brixton gets my vote and I’m not a cupcakeophile – sorry Ms. C!
Have you tried Senzala Creperie in Brixton Village? Three fab vegan options, great decor & music and love their home made chilli sauce. Found it by chance a few weekends ago and will def be going back soon – perfect Sunday brunch.
I will keep an eye out for it next time I am down there.
Seconding Senzala 🙂
That looks like a wonderful place for some yummy vegan food.
[…] celebrity is the best veggie? Live Calves Vs Swine Flu? Who will win!). There’s also been some talk about which bit of London is the best, which is always an impossible argument because everything […]
Raffo & Ridgeway are at Lower Marsh market Tuesday through to Friday. It is sometimes difficult to find tasty vegan optionsnear work and their cupcake and filo pie are a nice treat.
Relunctant though I am to admit it, I think Hackney wins most vegan friendly borough. But Camberwell is catching up, as it is with cycling 😉
