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.

Sometimes I like to take a stroll through supermarkets, even when I don’t need anything, just to take a look at the vegan products. This is something I particularly love to do on vacation.
Some people rush to the nearest art gallery or tourist attraction, but I’m rather content to stroll up and down every aisle of a local supermarket.
I’m not on holiday this week but I did take a journey into my local Waitrose supermarket for no reason other than to spot the plant-based goods.
Here are 10 that caught my eye.
