Temple of Seitan Hackney does fried 'chicken' fooling meat-eaters - £8 massive portions. Their 'wings' taste unreal convincing. Purezza Shoreditch serves sourdough pizza with cashew cheese that actually melts properly unlike most vegan attempts.

Groceries: Planet Organic near Tottenham Court Road stocks everything but costs fortune. Whole Foods Kensington High Street slightly cheaper basics. Regular Tesco/Sainsbury's now carry decent plant milks and breads.

Indian restaurants naturally vegan-friendly - request 'no ghee' and most dal, vegetable curries work perfectly. Ethiopian like Zeret Kitchen Camberwell 100% plant-based and affordable.
