• Falafel Pita Pocket

• Vegan Caribbean Fried Chicken

This thin, fermented rice and lentil crepe is stuffed with a spiced potato filling and served with sambar (lentil stew) and coconut chutney, offering a naturally vegetarian, gluten-free, and iconic South Indian experience.
• Smoky Aubergine Parmigiana Pizza
  Smoky Aubergine Parmigiana PizzaCombining London's love for sourdough pizza with classic Italian flavors, the Parmigiana pizza at Purezza (Camden) uses house-made cashew mozzarella and smoky roasted aubergine.

• When to go
  When to goThe best time to visit London is during the late spring (May to June) or early autumn (September to October) for mild temperatures and blooming parks without the extreme summer crowds. While summer offers the warmest weather and longest daylight hours, it is also the most expensive and crowded peak season. For lower prices and fewer tourists, visit during the off-peak winter months (January to March), though you should be prepared for cold, damp weather and shorter days.
