London vegan news, reviews & events
I spend a lot of my life around vegan markets.

It’s a strange mix of topics on the podcast this week.
Josh and I chat about our reactions to the Stranger Things finale, the terrifying reality of violence in the USA, and the power of Veganuary as a form of vegan activism.

Today I wanted to take a few moments of your time to draw attention to a song called Empty Seat and the person behind it.
The song feels especially poignant to me because it was written and performed by my friend Josh, who many of you will know was my partner for twenty years. The song is an emotional look at the end of our relationship as it morphed into an ongoing friendship and how Josh managed to process the emotions around it.
The date for Veganuary Fest 2026 is fast approaching, so I wanted to stop by with the updated trader list for the day.
Of course you know the event is taking place from midday on Saturday January 24, 2026 at Signature Brew out at Blackhorse Road, but you might not know what food is being served on the day.
