London vegan news, reviews & events
For much more than a decade now, London Vegan Social has been bringing people together.
It has run under different names over the years, but the heart of it has always stayed the same. In a world that seems more determined than ever to keep us isolated, I try to make a little pocket of safety, laughter, and connection once a month.

What do you know about animal sanctuaries and how often do you think of them?
Animal sanctuaries are places built on compassion and determination. They are often the last hope for animals who have been mistreated, neglected, or simply unwanted. Sanctuaries give these animals a forever home when the world has decided it has no use for them.

London, you are being completely spoiled this Bank Holiday weekend. Not one but two opportunities to shop directly from the fabulous vegan Mexican micro-bakery Pa’l Susto.
This small but mighty operation has carved out a name for itself with iconic conchas, rich tres leches cakes, and the sweetest little besos. They are the first vegan Mexican bakery of their kind in the UK and every time they appear it is exciting news!
Read about the two locations for this weekend below.
A bank holiday in London when the weather actually plays along is a special thing.
The city loosens up a bit, the parks start humming with life, and we all collectively pretend we aren’t as stressed as we really are.
And on this August bank holiday, there’s an extra special reason to gather up your vegan snacks and head outside.

Three years ago, my friend Josh and I sat down and decided the London LGBTQ community needed something. We needed a place to express. To perform. To create. To listen. To connect. So we started Queer Open Mic.
That was back in 2022. We had no idea where it would go, but we knew what we wanted it to feel like. We wanted it to be safe. We wanted it to be welcoming. We wanted people to turn up with songs, poems, guitars, jokes, and voices.
And we wanted them to leave feeling like they’d been seen and that they belong.
Fast forward to 2025 and Queer Open Mic is still going strong. In fact, it’s thriving. We now call The Cock Tavern in Kennington our home. It’s a proper south London gay bar with heart, and it’s the perfect setting for a night that is all about lifting up community voices.
