You’ll be tendered a stunning selection of sandwiches alongside a vegan scone to go with your tea, all beautifully presented in the true English fashion. They even have a gluten-free version!

Londonâs vegan scene doesnât get warmer or more convivial than Bonnington CafĂ©. The cooperative-run cafĂ© has been a staple of the leafy Bonnington Square neighbourhood since the 1980s. The kitchen is run by a rotation of chefs, which means the menu changes dailyâan excellent excuse for a repeat visit, then.
