East London’s vegan scene has thinned out. Since the last version of this guide, The Vurger Co. stopped trading (February 2024), What The Pitta’s Brick Lane branch closed (2025), Redemption Bar Shoreditch is closed until further notice, and Club Mexicana and CookDaily now trade near Liverpool Street, not in Shoreditch. This guide lists fully vegan places in Shoreditch and Brick Lane checked against their own websites in October 2026.
