London vegan news, reviews & events
I was going to start this blog post by saying something sassy about Christmas being just around the corner, but I don’t think you even need the Xmas excuse to treat yourself to this incredible vegan cheese collection.
Online vegan marketplace Saporia has gone above and beyond what we’ve seen previously when it comes to vegan cheese bundles and this ultimate collection is just superb.

Here’s something to get your vegan heart thumping this spooky season.
On Saturday 1 November, compassionate people are getting together in Wood Green for an evening packed with trivia, karaoke, and community spirit. And it’s all to raise funds for the incredible Paul Watson Foundation, which works hard to protect marine life and habitats from exploitation.

This podcast has become enjoyable for me.
Yes, it is another thing to do each week but I truly find it a pleasant experience. I get to chat with Josh once a week about topics of interest and we get to be uncensored in our opinions.
Our viewer/listener numbers aren’t through the roof but that isn’t important to us. The pod has become a hobby and a way for us to genuinely catch up.
If there are a few people out there getting a bit of entertainment from it, that’s a bonus!
Episode 65 finds us discussing the rise of the Green Party of England and Wales, London police involved in bad behaviour, and necrosis.

Christmas can a weird time for vegans.
We often want to participate in the festivities and rituals, but to do so means being faced with a lot of animal-derived foods. On a day supposedly about kindness and compassion, it can feel extremely challenging to sit across from people who are devouring multiple types of animals.
To make your Christmas Day celebration a lot more bearable, a legendary vegan restaurant in London has announced a spectacular menu meaning you can eat, relax, and enjoy your celebration without worrying about people waving bones in your face.

The time has come to say goodbye to London Vegan Social.
This monthly event has been part of my life for about four years, but in truth, it was the continuation of something I’ve been doing for more than a decade. From the early days of London Vegan Drinks and London Vegan Potluck right through to the present, these gatherings have been a huge part of my life. They’ve been places where friendships were formed, collaborations were born, and where kindness was always on the menu.

Episode 64 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) podcast is out now.

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.

Earlier today I found myself in a central London hospital for an appointment. Getting old is no joke so I won’t make one.
With some time to spare, I wandered into the cafeteria to see what sort of vegan food might be on offer. What I found was not especially inspiring. The main vegan option appeared to be what I can only describe as a mummified baked potato, sitting sadly under the lights and looking as if it had been waiting far too long for anyone to take an interest.
