Of the ones I know, and my knowledge is very incomplete:
Temple of Seitan and/or Temple of Camden / Camden and Hackney generally
Purezza Pizza (in Parkway like Temple of Camden)
Black Cat
Green Bay in North End Road (shop)
Broadway Market on Saturdays for I Am Nut! OK? cheese
Cookies and Scream (Holloway Road)I'm afraid I'm not really aware of what the best vegan restaurants are, because of all the distraction from junk food. :) Places I've wanted to go to for years include Manna in Primrose Hill and Mao Chow (vegan Chinese) in Mare Street. Itadaki Zen (Japanese) I went to once but was disappointed, perhaps I didn't order well or it was an off-day.
There are always some street traders that it's worth going to markets for. I like Bar dei Baci, who do a sort of fried calzone they call 'frizza'. They do various markets, but I don't know where they're going to be when you're here. You could always give them a call, they have their number up. I suspect that many street traders are not as active as outside of pandemics at the moment.
Also, quite a few places seem to be shut. Yesterday, I went past where this ...
... is supposed to be (very close to Mao Chow), but there didn't seem to be any activity--strange, because the web-site is still up and doesn't say anything about a hiatus. Does anyone know more?
Unsurprisingly, the pace of vegan openings has slowed, if not stopped completely, but I'm not really up-to-date with everything.

Also, best places to buy high quality Indian spices? It’s been almost 8 years since I left London so feel a bit out the loop.
Indian Spice Shop on Drummond Street (next to Euston) is one option

Spice Box on Hoe Street in Walthamstow is great. Liked by most vegans in E17:

They have vids of their recipes, type in Spice Box TV on YouTube for other recipes:
Hello all,
I’ll be visiting London for a few nights the weekend after next and was wondering what the must-eat-at vegan places are. Cafes, restaurants, shops, everything! I’ve set aside a whole day for galleries and food so don’t be shy.
