London vegan news, reviews & events
As you all know, because I haven’t shut up about it, I’m helping to host a special plant-based food and drink experience this Saturday January 24th, 2026 out at Blackhorse Road, East London.
Veganuary Fest is a collaboration between vegan brewery Signature Brew and food experts Feed The Village from midday this Saturday.
Take a look at six items that have grabbed my attention. I will be investigating further!

I spend a lot of my life around vegan markets.
Sometimes it is for work, sometimes it is for pleasure, and often it is a bit of both. Over the years I have come to believe that independent vegan traders are doing some of the most important work in our movement, often without the recognition or support they deserve.

If you find yourself in London looking for the ultimate vegan comfort food, I highly recommend stopping by Dauns near Spitalfields for this incredible Swedish hot dog.

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.
Bad quality video and audio. Often bad takes on topics. But we keep making these episodes of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) regardless.

I meant to write this blog post a few days ago but already it feels like 2026 is running away from me.

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.
