VegetarianVisitor Guide to London 2012

Vegetarian friendly accommodation, restaurants & eating out in London

Vegetarian Visitor is the number one annually updated and award winning UK vegetarian guide to accommodation, B&B, guest houses, hotels, pubs cafes, vegetarian restaurants which take catering for healthy eaters, vegetarians and vegans seriously - used internationally by the British Tourist Authority.

London's vegetarian heritage stretches back over a hundred years thanks to The London Vegetarian Society later VSUK and saw the founding of The Vegan Society in November 1944. It wasn't until 1961 when Cranks restaurants were born in London's trendy Carnaby Street that vegetarians could start to feel normal. Many others such as Whole Earth followed Cranks lead.

50 years later,  in  the very best of London Hotels and restaurants (even in Gordon Ramsay's ) it's a sign of neglect if they don't have a vegetarian or more commonly now a vegan  option on their menu to placate their celebrity and VIP clientele. You can find pretty much what ever rocks your culinary  boat from an organic healthy burger bar or a mind blowing array of delicious salads to a fine dining epicurian gourmet botanical  5 *****  raw food vegan extravaganza.

See the sights of London such as Trafalgar Square, Tower Bridge, The Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, St James's park, the London Eye, London Dungeon, celebrities in Madam Tussauds, Harrods, Hamley's toy store, St Paul's Cathedral, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament,  some of the world's most amazing  museums housing unique treasures and of course London's acclaimed theatres offering everything from comedy musicals to Shakespeare, ballet and opera. Whatever rocks your boat you can find it here.
