TUI Proposes Strategic Delisting from London Stock Exchange

Demand for plant-based food has soared in the UK in the past few years, thanks in part to the popularity of movements and campaigns like Veganuary. With the latter came a blossoming of the country’s vegan dining scene, which now spans from fine dining to street food. While some establishments focus on lifting vegetables to stardom, others use meat substitutes to entice non-vegans. The biggest change, though, is the diversity of cuisines available — you can now just about eat your way around the world, whether you’re after flavours from Asia, Europe or the Americas. For those contemplating a dietary switch, here’s a selection of fully vegan restaurants around the country to get you started.

It’s a new year, but when it comes to world-class food and drink, it’s still the same ol’ London. Meaning there's no Shoreditch—err...shortage of options across this perennially dynamic cityscape.

Reverse stock splits are almost never a good sign and companies have a tough time recovering. They do it when their shares are in the basement and they’re at risk of a delisting.

You’ll know you’ve arrived at L’Escargot once you spot the vintage-style, neon lights spelling out its name, and notice the plaster bust of a person riding a giant snail above the door (it turns out this is the famous restaurant’s founder, Charles Gaudin, sat astride a giant gastropod). With its creaking stairs, top-floor, plant-filled bar and colourful, art-lined walls, the restaurant, in the heart of London’s Soho, has been at the epicentre of the capital city’s dining scene for nearly 100 years.

Rather than a city with a single, unified style, London is a collection of distinct neighborhoods, each with their own unique character. One walk around the British capital and you’ll discover the distinction is marked by the architecture of each—from the pastel flat facades of Notting Hill to the stately, stark white townhouses of Kensington to the 19th century, industrial brick buildings of the South Bank.

London is one of my favorite cities. There's so much to explore, and it's easy to get around central London on foot or via public transit.
