London's Acclaimed Vegan Kitchen LD's to Close Camden and London Fields Venues in March
London's vibrant food scene is set to lose a cherished culinary gem next month as LD's Kitchen, the renowned plant-based eatery, prepares to shutter its operations at two iconic venues. The vegan kitchen, which has been a resident at The Black Heart in Camden Town and Saint Monday Brewery in London Fields for the past three years, will serve its final meals in late March, leaving a void for vegan food enthusiasts across the capital.
A Farewell to Vegan Favorites
LD's Kitchen has earned widespread acclaim, notably being named Time Out's second-best brunch spot in London and previously ranking as the publication's third-best roast dinner destination. The kitchen has built a loyal following for its innovative vegan offerings, including sumptuous Sunday lunches and indulgent breakfasts featuring towering pancake stacks and an array of creative bloody marys. Its departure marks another significant closure in London's dining landscape, following recent announcements from other Time Out favorites like Club Mexicana Soho and Tandoor Chop House.
Final Service Dates and Emotional Goodbyes
In an emotional Instagram post, LD's announced that its final service at Saint Monday Brewery will take place on March 28, with the last roast dinner at The Black Heart scheduled for March 29. The post urged customers to book early, anticipating high demand as London's vegan community gathers to bid farewell. LD, the kitchen's founder, expressed heartfelt gratitude, stating, 'I personally would like to thank the amazing teams / staff at The Black Heart and Saint Monday, I / we couldn’t have done it without you all… I could go on and on but let’s keep this short and sweet before I cry!' The message also extended thanks to customers for their unwavering support over the past three years.
Not a Permanent Goodbye
While the closures are imminent, this is not the end for LD's Kitchen. The establishment is actively searching for a new home in London to continue serving its beloved plant-based soul food. This transition offers a glimmer of hope for fans, suggesting a potential revival in a future location. The news comes amid other exciting developments in London's food scene, including four local burgers advancing to the finals of the National Burger Awards 2026 and Chick-fil-A revealing plans for its first London restaurant.
As Londoners prepare to say goodbye to LD's at its current venues, the kitchen's legacy of culinary excellence and community impact remains a testament to the city's dynamic and evolving vegan dining culture.
