“Some of the best vegan food London has to offer” – The Guardian

Unfortunately, the Vegan Route market at Blue House Yard is no longer running.

ACCESSIBILITY
Karamel is a wheelchair-accessible venue, with a folding ramp to help customers over the doorsill. (There’s a second entrance just past the main entrance that may be more accessible, but which isn’t always open.) The venue also has a wheelchair-accessible toilet (towards the front of the building, behind the bar.)

FREE MEMBERSHIP. FREE ATTENDANCE.
We’re keen to ensure that cost is never a barrier to attendance – either for vegans on a low-income, or for non-vegans who don’t want to pay to learn more about veganism. Therefore, we never charge for membership or attendance. But that doesn’t mean that our group or our events don’t cost us anything to run! So if you’d like to (and are able to) support our events and future projects, you can find out how to do so here:

A regular long afternoon and evening of board/card games!

Bring your favourite ones or just your inner geek — we usually have games for everyone 🤓 Arrive whenever you like, stay as long as you want: new games will be starting as people come in, with often one or two that can be joined at any given time. Look out for one of the hosts if you’d like to be introduced to other attendees.

Here’s a list of games that are frequently available at our events:

You can read a description of each game, and if anything tickles your fancy don’t hesitate to post a message on the event to ask for a specific game (although we can’t guarantee that the owner will attend or bring it).

Also, you can preview the rules of some of our most loved games here: http://bit.ly/BoardgameRules — but this is not at all required, we’re always happy to teach/explain games to new players.

Accessibility: this venue is accessible but has no accessible toilets.

Join the CULT!

Well, everyone seems to think veganism is a cult anyway! 😉

But joking aside, we have excellent news. From March 2015, every Tuesday is a vegan day (http://www.tibits.ch/en/food-drink/vegan.html) at Tibits (http://www.tibits.ch/en/restaurants.html#tibits-london-heddon-street)!

And having been thinking that we needed a relaxed, midweek social event in central London, this seemed to be the perfect opportunity.

We have booked the entire basement on the last Tuesday of every month. So come on down, meet other vegans, and enjoy vegan food and drink. (You’re welcome to arrive any time between our start and end times.)

If you haven’t been before, Tibits is a great “pay-by-weight” buffet-style restaurant just off Regent Street. And on their vegan days, everything (or at least almost everything) in the buffet is vegan.

So don’t forget to save room for their sticky toffee pudding!

HAPPY HOUR
Arrive early to take advantage of Tibits’ Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-7 pm).
• All cocktails £5
• Pints £3.50
• Bottles of house wine £12.50
• Bottles of Prosecco £18

ACCESSIBILITY
Tibits is a wheelchair-accessible venue with a lift to the basement (where we’ll be) and a wheelchair-accessible toilet. However, the lift is a little hidden, so please ask staff. (A member of staff will usually greet customers as they enter.)

The time has come!

It’s time to claim loud and clear the abolition of slavery of all the animals, the abolition of the practices which cause them the biggest wrongs: their breeding, their fishing and their slaughter.

Every year in the world, 60 billion land animals and more than 1000 billion aquatic anima.ls are killed without necessity, which means that 164 million land animals and more than 2,74 billion aquatic animals are killed every day.

Inspirational speakers for the day:

The usual theme of the event is to wear red, but this is not essential.

Some placards and leaflets will be provided, if you can bring your own that would be very much appreciated.

This event is open to all people with a genuine interest in veganism, vegetarianism or animal rights. But it is kindly requested that only vegan food can be brought or consumed at this event by the attendees.

NEW ROUTE

After over 6 years of organising the Walkabout, I thought it would be a good idea to make a few changes, to re-fresh and add some more Walking to the Walkabout :)

My idea is we will walk to Brixton, which will enable us to really explore the back streets and parks of Southwark, Vauxhall & Oval along the way, and then enjoy lunch wherever we like, then after lunch, some of us may like to chill out in Brockwell Park, or head to a pub if the weather’s bad, or carry on Walking, taking a different route back to the river… :)

PLEASE NOTE;
Bring Water & Vegan snacks for the Walk :)

Approximate times (may run later; updates will appear in the comments)
12.30-12.45pm
We’ll gather in the Courtyard of Somerset house, by the statue near the fountains (nearest tube; Trafalgar Square, or Charing Cross Station, or Waterloo)

12.45ish
Start walking, possibly heading out the back of Somerset House, to the balcony facing the Thames, turn right & follow a path down to the street to cross Waterloo Bridge

We’ll pass by Waterloo station, and meander through back streets, taking us via a few parks, including eventually Kennington Park :)

1.45ish or maybe 2pm *Given walking pace, bathroom breaks as needed, etc*
We’ll arrive at the first port of call, Cafe Van Gogh; some can eat here, or we can meet latecomers here, and some may like to carry on, another 20 minutes walk, to the outdoor & indoor markets & Ms Cupcake :) *See the long list below*

After lunch, depending on the weather, we may meet at ~>

The DOGSTAR

Or other pubs include;
MARKET HOUSE, PRINCE ALBERT (All three on Coldharbour Lane, near Ms Cupcake)

Or, if the weather’s nice, we’ll chill out in…
BROCKWELL PARK

(Which is near two pubs, HOOTENNANY & EFFRA SOCIAL, or further afield, at Brixton Hill, there’s THE WHITE HORSE *nice pub, good playlist*

Or, we can carry on enjoying exploring & walking, maybe take a different route BACK TO THE RIVER :) & get tubes/buses home from there :)

~~~*~~~

Since September 2014, London has had a new, all vegan bar / restaurant / venue – Kabaret at Karamel. Run by vegans, and with an all vegan menu and drinks list, this is now the home of London Vegan Drinks. And although it’s a little out of central London, it’s less than 30 minutes from Oxford Circus by public transport.

What’s more, they have a late license until the early hours at weekends. So feel free to arrive any time between our start and end times. And being a Saturday, you (hopefully!) won’t have to worry about work in the morning.

If you’ve been to London Vegan Drinks before, you’ll already know that this event, founded by blogger FatGayVegan in 2011, has become London’s biggest monthly vegan social event (having already outgrown three previous venues). And if you haven’t been before, it’s about time you did!
