One of the most beloved vegan restaurants in London has pulled off the ultimate comeback.
Unity Diner is reopening. Yes really.
Read below to get all the details on this shocking and exciting news.

After recently closing its doors, it truly seemed like the end for Unity Diner.
Rising costs and an impending rent increase had forced its hand, leaving London without one of its most iconic plant-based eateries. The outpouring of sadness from the vegan community was overwhelming. People were devastated to see it go.
But now against all odds Unity Diner is making a triumphant return.
Thanks to incredible support during Veganuary and investment from one of the original co-founders, the restaurant is reopening from Friday the 4th April, 2025. It is coming back stronger than ever with a refreshed menu featuring much-loved classics such as the award-winning tofish and chips alongside returning favourites like the Surf n Turf Dog and The Surge Burger. There will also be brand new dishes fresh off their new charcoal grill.


And if that was not enough excitement already, Unity Diner is also launching London’s first 100 percent vegan carvery. From Sunday the 20th of April guests will be able to enjoy a fully plant-based take on the classic roast every Sunday from noon until 6pm.
Originally opening in 2018 before moving to a larger location in 2019, Unity Diner has long been a cornerstone of the vegan food scene in London. It is not just a restaurant but a place built on ethical values with funds going towards rescuing animals.
Co-founder Ed Winters, known online as Earthling Ed, is stepping back from the project to focus on new ventures, but another of the original founders is taking the reins to lead this exciting new chapter.
Here are the opening hours from the 4th of April:
Tuesday to Saturday: 12:00 – 22:00
Sunday (from April 20th): 12:00 – 18:00
Monday: Closed
This is an unbelievable moment for the vegan community and a true testament to the power of support. Get yourself down to Unity Diner and be part of this spectacular comeback.
