London foodies will have to mourn the loss of another great eatery in the capital next month, as LD’s Kitchen, the kitchen resident at The Black Heart in Camden and Saint Monday Brewery, is leaving both venues. LD’s is the latest of several Time Out favourites to have confirmed closures this week, joining the likes of Club Mexicana Soho and Tandoor Chop House at the big restaurant in the sky... for now anyway. 

The plant-based LD’s Kitchen was named Time Out’s second-best brunch in the capital and was formerly Time Out’s third-best roast. LD’s has been in residence at the iconic heavy metal boozer The Black Heart in Camden Town and the Saint Monday Brewery in London Fields for the past three years. It has become beloved for its vegan Sunday lunches and breakfasts that feature towering pancake stacks and an array of bloody marys. 

In an Instagram post, LD’s announced it would have its final service at Saint Monday on March 28 and its final roast service at The Black Heart on March 29. Booking is highly advised as its expected that London’s vegans will be lining up in their droves to pay their respects. 

‘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!’ said LD in the post. ‘Thank you all to the customers for the support at both venues the past three years.’

This isn’t a ‘goodbye forever’, but more of a ‘see you soon’, as LD’s is currently looking for a new home for its plant-based soul food.
