Vegan-friendly stays in London

London has been part of the vegan story from the start: the meeting that founded the Vegan Society was held in High Holborn. Each year the society marks World Vegan Day on the first of November. Veganuary, the charity that encourages people to try vegan eating for the month of January, is registered in England and Wales.

Today the city sits at the top of HappyCow's rankings. It came first in HappyCow's 2022 list of vegan-friendly cities, with Berlin second, and first again in the 2025 Vegan City Index.

London is also a starting point for the rest of Britain; see vegan-friendly stays in the United Kingdom.

To host in London through Vegvisits, the home has to be vegan or vegetarian.

London's listings are run by 23 hosts.

The capital's mix is 18 private rooms and 6 entire places.

For a fully plant-based kitchen, London offers 16 stays with a fully vegan kitchen.

London's food reflects the communities that live there, and several of those cuisines have plant-based dishes at their core. South Asian restaurants serve dal, chana masala and vegetable thalis, though it is worth asking about ghee. Turkish and Kurdish grills offer meze such as hummus, stuffed vine leaves and grilled vegetables. Ethiopian restaurants serve injera, a spongy flatbread, with lentil and vegetable stews, many of which are vegan.

Supermarkets label vegan products, which makes self-catering in a stay with a kitchen straightforward, and keeps costs down in an expensive city.

The Underground, Overground, buses and suburban trains cover the whole city, and contactless bank cards and phones work as tickets. Pay-as-you-go fares are capped per day and per week, and the weekly cap runs from Monday to Sunday. Walking is practical in central areas, and the Regent's Canal towpath links Little Venice, Camden and east London away from traffic.

The Vegvisits search works by place, dates and guests.
