Support London’s Black-Owned Restaurants

Show solidarity with the Black community by putting your money straight into Black-owned businesses. One important and tangible way to show up is by supporting Black-owned restaurants, which is why we’ve put together this list of London’s Black-owned restaurants, organised by area, that are currently open for dine-in, takeaway and delivery.

This is not just a list of Black-owned restaurants we should all be supporting today, or tomorrow, or next week. These are restaurants that we should be supporting, always. That’s something we’ll definitely be doing more of, and this guide is just one step. It’s also just a starting point - we’ll be updating this list constantly. Please email us at london@theinfatuation.com to let us know of restaurants that should be included on this list, and we’ll work to get them added as quickly as possible.

Hopefully this list is helpful. But there are other resources you can use to find and support Black-owned businesses including Jamii and The Black Book.

Please also consider other ways of fighting for racial justice (compiled by @lagoon_femshayma), and for a longer list of US organisations to support, click here.
