Decent breakfast

Got the vegan sausage bap, hash browns and a cbd trip drink. Potentially the fastest ive ever been served. Had the food on the counter before I bought it. Despite weak appearances of the sausage, it tasted reallllly good!

Pros: Fast service, Good taste

Cons: Expensive

Convenient healthy fast food

I had the golden Dahl with brown rice. Tasty though the proportion of Dahl to rice was a bit imbalanced and I wasn’t quite full afterwards. Next time I go I will try their burger.

Pros: Fast service , Healthy , Affordable

Cons: Small portions

Best veggie fast food

I always head to LEON when I'm at the station and it never disappoints. Always has clearly labeled vegan and vegetarian options which are served quickly but still super tasty. Would recommend the lentil masala!

Pros: Tasty, Fast service, Great veg options

Cons: Can be busy, it is in a train station!

KGX Convenience

Very convenient outlet with friendly staff and a good range of vegan options. I purchased a paleon bar, a double chocolate chip cookie and a mango, lime and dragon fruit smoothie for the train journey home. The paleon bar and cookie were delicious and inexpensive, whilst the smoothie was very refreshing. I would happily visit again.

Pros: Good vegan options, Staff and location, Convenience

Cons: Can get busy

Always a winner!

I really love Leon, they have great options and the food is just so tasty. This time I went for Moroccan Me*tballs and Aioli Mac & Cheeze Bites, which are two of my absolute favourite Leon offerings. They were both delicious as ever!

I also tried the Acai Berry Smoothie, which I’ve not tried before, but I also really liked it! I recently tried the Mango, Lime & Dragon Fruit Smoothie and that’s also decent but I like the Acai Berry one a lot more.

I also really liked the interior of this Leon, there was quite a big seating area, including an area set behind the serving and tills area. This area has a nice décor and because it’s a bit more out of the way, you can escape the busyness of the station and enjoy your meal in peace!

I’d also really recommend downloading the app and joining the mailing list as Leon can be a little pricey but they offer some really great discounts and freebies with the app.

Pros: Delicious food , Lots of options, Seating provides an escape from station busyness

Cons: Bit pricey without the app

Pretty good but slow!

Me and my bf together got the harissa chick’n wrap and the loVE burger and a fries with garlic aioli! His burger was nicer than my wrap I think, which was okay but nothing super (a little dry, small amount of chick’n, hard to eat without making a mess, not much other filling, mainly just bread plus harissa hahaha) and also took a long time to arrive, like ~20 minutes, which is a lot for “naturally fast food” I think … But I would want to criticise the people working there otherwise because they were nice. I think the wraps were the only slow thing, so if you’re in a rush I’d recommend checking with the people working which items are ready to go and which might take longer. I wish we would have done that. Anyway it’s great to see cool and creative vegan options in the mainstream chains in a train station!

Easy Vegan Breakfast Sandwich

Ordered: Vegan Sausage Breakfast Sandwich, Large Fries and an Americano

The restaurant is located in Kings Cross station so it is quite busy but staff was in good spirits and were very friendly and helpful. When I went to order the vegan breakfast sandwich, they were out of the sourdough but substituted a hamburger bun for me and they were about to start the lunch shift and had finished all of the hashbrowns but started making their fries early so that I could have a potato side with my breakfast sandwich.

They have good seating available with nice natural light and if you want to find a table at the front you can have a great time people watching as people are in constant flow for daily travel. The breakfast sandwich was minimal, vegan sausage patty, spinach, and sauce. The spinach added a nice crunch, and while it was fine with a hamburger bun, the sourdough would probably take it up a level with the added firmer texture. I was pleasantly surprised that the fries were waffle fries and the chili sauce they gave me was perfect for dipping, wasn’t too hot off the bite and had a mildly spicy after burn. The coffee was fine, reminded me of Dunkin Donuts coffee. Would come again if I needed something quick or a place to sit down with a friend for a snack that is central.

Vegan millionaire

This fast food has many Vegan options, and the food is really delicious! Their Vegan millionaire is succulent ^o^ And their fries are very tasty.
The meal with falafel is spicy.
Take away is possible. It's perfect because it's near Eurostar train and Metro station.

Pros: Vegan options, Take away is possible, Near transports

Garlic aioli, yes please

It’s Leon. Fast food. I’ve been to others and the Jack Wings have been super hot, luke warm tonight so bit of a disappointment. It’s on a station concourse and open late. Handy.

Pros: Chipotle avocado burger

Leon Love

This place is awesome! I got the porridge without honey and it was really, really good and fully vegan (made with almond milk and had chocolate and bananas on top). I also got a vegan donut, the billionaire's shortbread, and a vegan jaffa cake. I'd never had a jaffa cake before and it was really delicious, too. The donut was cooked perfectly and had a lovely flavor. I have seen Leon all over the city and I love that they offer so many great items for vegans! Service here is FAST, too!

Nice that it exists

Pleasant option for train station food. I had the Caribbean Curry. Grateful to have it, but the meal is 90% brown rice and the curry is more like a salty coconut sauce on top. More vegetables or plantain would’ve made me happy.

Pros: Affordable , Real food

Cons: My meal was mostly rice

Lovely vegan boxes

Had the vegan plantain curry today. Delicious. Had the black bean box a while back and it was also delicious, so were their hummus and fries. Prices are reasonable for London. A good alternative to boring sandwich chains, but still a chain...
Next I want to try their vegan wings!!

Pros: Tasty, hot vegan options, Plenty of mint infused water for free, Fast service

Cons: Chainy feel - bright lights etc., Not fully vegan!, Not many interesting vegan desserts

Full Length Delivery

One of the most progressive vegan friendly chains I have encountered. After a hectic sporting day out in London the sight of a Leon at Kings Cross station was most welcome prior to boarding the train. There was a bit of queue full of tourists as well as football and cricket fans so we decided to join it to ensure we got served in plenty of time. Service and delivery of food was exceptional. Vegan items are very clearly labelled, we got a delicious plantain curry, a portion of vegan cheese chicken style nuggets and some of their waffle type fries with vegan aioli and ketchup. All good.

Pros: Vegan labelling , Quick service , Convenient

Yum....!

SO GOOD. We ordered the GF Vegan burger, jackfruit nuggets, waffle chips, Caribbean curry, choc doughnut and millionaire shortbread (no we couldn’t move after eating it all...!) The burger is to die for. The cheese and layers were just superb. The vegan aioli is amazing - would literally order again just for that. Not sure I liked the jackfruit nuggets...not sure if it was the texture or flavour I didn’t like. But everything else was spot on.

Pros: Great vegan options , Lots of GF Vegan options , Burger was fab.

Cons: Jackfruit nuggets were a bit odd, Delivery meant chips were cold on arrival

The vegan Love Burger 😍

The LOVE burger is incredible - smoked ‘cheese’, meaty soya burger & all the usual trimmings, so good I came back 3 days later for another one!

The best vegan fast-food option I’ve found yet - it’s amazing!

Pros: Love burger is incredible , Lots of vegan options, inc cakes, Great to take away when catching the train!
