Lele’s is an independent vegan cafe and bakery full of tempting savoury and sweet treats, and even snacks for dogs.
Best visited in the morning, the cafe serves pancakes topped with coconut yoghurt and fresh fruit, vegan full English breakfasts and French toast that will set you up for a day of exploring.

If you’re a vegan who really misses the taste of fried chicken, Temple of Seitan specialises in a meat-free alternative that tastes strikingly similar to the real thing.
A casual dining option close to two London shopping and tourism hubs, the chain serves a variety of burgers, “chick’n” meals, and sides at very reasonable prices.
On my visit to the Hackney branch, I had popcorn “chicken” and fries; I’m one of those veggies that doesn’t love to eat healthy constantly, and its fake chicken really hit the spot where I had missed the real thing, plus it was filling enough to last me for the whole day.
Claiming to be the “largest vegan restaurant in the UK”, Purezza in Camden serves vegan sourdough pizza, with options for a hemp base or gluten-free base.
Although the pizzas are a little more pricey than your average fast-food place, Purezza’s vegan cheese tastes delicious, and with over 10 pizza flavours to choose from – plus inventive sides – it’s well worth a visit.
I had The One With The Pesto, and its creamy dairy-free cheese went so well with the roasted vegetables and fresh, zingy pesto. If you’re looking for something more substantial, Purezza also has a pizza with pulled BBQ-flavour pieces and a wood-smoked tofu option.
