6 Of London’s Best Vegan Freakshakes
Long gone are the days where vegans have to opt for the tap water at a restaurant. Veganism is a craze that’s become a global phenomena, with celebs even advocating the plant-based lifestyle. But you haven’t got to just eat rabbit food. Oh no, vegans too can enjoy a milkshake or two! Here’s our guide to the best vegan shakes around the city…
Rudy's Dirty Vegan Diner
There’s now an all vegan diner in London and we’re finding it hard to retain our excitement! Rudy’s Dirty Vegan Diner serves up all our guilty pleasures without the dairy guilt. The diner’s new indulgent vegan shake bar serves up vegan freak-shakes using oat milk and vegan ice cream. Opt for the rainbow unicorn tops with skittles, candy floss, bubblegum syrup, rainbow pop, fizzy rainbow strips and iced party rings, um, hell yeah!

Leon
Although we’re not usually ones to include a chain in a guide, but when Leon announced they’re launching a new vegan range and it included a vegan shake, we couldn’t not add it to the list. They’ll be offering the usual strawberry and chocolate, plus a coffee one if you’re looking for a caffeine hit! Yum.
