There is something special about standing in a field with a drink in your hand while a grown adult dressed vaguely like Freddie Mercury belts out arena classics into the afternoon sky.
And in 2026, London Vegan Beer Fest is embracing that energy.
If you’ve ever wanted a tattoo and 100% plant steak sandwich at the same time, THIS has got you covered.
Get along to the ‘A Delicious Misteak Tattoo Parlour’, a one day takeover of Flamin’ Eight, a proudly-vegan tattoo parlour. The concept is simple. Walk in, pick from a selection of cowboy-themed flash tattoos, and leave with fresh ink and a delicious THIS steak sandwich in hand.
I know from friends who need to eat gluten free how tough that can be as a vegan, but at least this spot in the east end of London has made gluten free vegan burgers a reality.
I’ve made no secret of my love for The Third Estate.
This London-based vegan shoe store and ethical boutique is the best place in the capital for compassionate fashionistas… and also non-fashiony people like me! Most of the shoes I’ve bought over the past decade have come from The Third Estate.
Following the success of the Kentish Town store and their online store, The Third Estate has a second physical location inside Greenwich Market.
I popped in a few days ago to say hello and was impressed by the huge selection of ethically-sourced bags on show.
Dauns is a much-loved Scandi vegan cafe in London. Their brunch plates are legendary and the regular clientele couldn’t be convinced to go anywhere else for their daily coffee and pastries.
The brains and muscle behind Dauns is Rickard. He cooks. He cleans. He does all the behind the scenes magic to make Dauns work.
But did you know Rickard is also a member of a band which is about to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a gig in North London this May?
