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.)

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:

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!

Invite your friends who aren’t on Meetup here: https://www.facebook.com/londonvegandrinks/events/

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.)

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!

Invite your friends who aren’t on Meetup here: https://www.facebook.com/londonvegandrinks/events/

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:

On the second Sunday of every month, we meet at Karamel to enjoy their Sunday roast – or one of the other options on the menu, such as bangers’n’mash, or pizza. Plus drinks, desserts, cake, and more.

Vegan Cooking Workshop by Oliveology & Lida Papamatthaiaki

Her menu is inspired by the Mediterranean diet, her Cretan heritage, our star ingredients and glorious fresh produce from Borough Market! During this workshop we will taste different extra-virgin olive oils, rediscover tahini, we will learn how to expertly make dolmades, and how to incorporate super healthy dried fruit and fruit molasses to our daily meals.

The workshop includes learning basic cooking skills, tasting ingredients and participating in every step, from prepping ingredients to cooking and plating. You will leave with a selection of the recipes and a 10% discount voucher for Oliveology’s products. And at the end of the workshop we all sit around the table and share the food we’ve made!

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.)

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!

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 :)

See you soon South of the River!

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!

Invite your friends who aren’t on Meetup here: https://www.facebook.com/londonvegandrinks/events/

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:

On the second Sunday of every month, we meet at Karamel to enjoy their Sunday roast – or one of the other options on the menu, such as bangers’n’mash, or pizza. Plus drinks, desserts, cake, and more.

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.

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.

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.)
