Since launching in the UK in 2014, Veganuary has seen more than 500,000 people register. Aiming to highlight the importance and benefits of a vegan diet, the health benefits and the environmental impact, the non-profit organisation aims to make the transition as easy and enjoyable as possible with 2020 being no different. Last year, Greggs vegan sausage roll became a national news story, Pizza Hut released a jackfruit pizza and Marks & Spencer came out with a Plant Kitchen range, making it easier than ever to access vegan dishes on the high street. This year is no different with Greggs now releasing a vegan steak bake, KFC boasting a meat-free burger on its menu and Tesco having Swedish meatless ribs on its shelves. London is full of vegan and vegan-friendly restaurants that offer gourmet cuisine that we know you’re going to love. We’ve compiled a list of the best vegan eateries to swing by should you be participating in Veganuary, and even if you’re not, the dishes on offer will definitely hit the right spot.
Our expertise, worldwide connections, and the way we do things with a relentless drive means whatever your travels needs are, we can make it happen for you whenever, however, wherever and every time.
