If you’ve been missing the incredible food of LD’s Kitchen since they wrapped up their London residencies, I have some very good news for you.
The award winning vegan kitchen is back for a special one off event and it sounds like the perfect excuse to head to Camden.

If you’ve been following Fat Gay Vegan for any length of time, you’ll know that I have spent years celebrating London’s incredible vegan food scene. You’ll also know that so much of that scene has traditionally been centred around East London.
Hackney. Bethnal Green. Dalston. Walthamstow. Shoreditch. These neighbourhoods have long been home to many of the capital’s most exciting vegan businesses.
But isn’t it refreshing to see independent vegan businesses flourishing in other parts of London too?
That is exactly why I wanted to shine a spotlight on P!NCH, an independent plant-based café tucked away in Fulham.

I haven’t really been super impressed by desserts in London over the last few years. Usually I enjoy them, finish them, and move on with my life.
But all of this got turned upside down last week near Liverpool Street.

I’m not a football fan.
It’s not that I’m against the sport, but I am just not interested. I’m more of a tennis person. I could sit for hours as people hit balls to and fro on my screen, but a team of humans kicking a little round ball does nothing for me.
With that said, I do understand how seriously the UK takes the sport of football so I wanted to share some exciting news with you about the upcoming England game this weekend.

One of the greatest joys for me as Fat Gay Vegan over the past 16 years has been championing independent vegan businesses.
Whether it has been writing about exciting new products on this blog, organising Hackney Downs Vegan Market, or helping small businesses connect with thousands of customers through supper clubs and events, I have always believed that our independent traders are the heart of the vegan movement.
That is why I am so excited that the return of London Vegan Beer Fest this September 19th in Mile End will feature a dedicated retail tent packed with incredible independent businesses.

A vegan restaurant can be much more than just a place to eat and Mildreds in Soho is proving this point during Pride month 2026.
Yes, they serve fantastic vegan food. Yes, they have helped shape London’s plant-based dining scene for decades. But they also know the importance of creating spaces where members of the LGBTQ+ community feel welcome, celebrated, and connected.

Chickenish has been impressing vegans and non-vegans alike since 2021.
Born as a fully plant-based street food brand with a mission to recreate the chicken shop experience without any chicken, they made a big splash on their arrival and immediately built a pretty unstoppable momentum. From the very beginning they went viral, picking up a loyal following who understood what they were trying to do AND who loved the taste.
Often found hanging around vegan and vegan-friendly events in London, in 2026 Chickenish is spreading its wings a little broader.

There are a lot of wonderful things about living in London as a vegan, but one of my favourites has to be the fact that we have an entirely vegan pub.
The Spread Eagle in Homerton continues to be one of the capital’s true vegan gems, and one of the reasons it stays so special is that the kitchen seemingly never stands still. The menu changes with the seasons, giving regular visitors plenty of reasons to keep coming back.
The new summer menu has just landed with a host of fresh dishes and drinks, but today I want to make a fuss about one particular addition.
