Croydon Vegetarians
Croydon Vegetarians is one of the oldest UK vegetarian groups. We hope you'll join us to swap ideas and experiences, meet and communicate with other vegetarians & vegans in Croydon to make a difference to the lives of Croydon residents. We also hope to hear from Croydon businesses who have something special to offer Croydon vegetarians & vegans (especially Croydon Restaurants !
Croydon apparently gets it's name from the valley of the crocusses. I can imagine something similar to Happy Valley on the borough's southern borders. These days Croydon is more often compared to Manhatten with it's sky scraper high rise office blocks and handy tram system. A great place to shop (we have two of everything) and there are plans to invest millions into the Croydon regeneration scheme.

National Vegetarian Week 2010
The National Vegetarian Week photo shows 2 men celebrating vegsoc's NVW under the threat of the Butcher's threatening cleaver.
An almost uncanny depiction of a similar actual scene in Croydon. Our National Vegetarian Week celebration has been blighted by the news that Croydon Buddhists have made the decision to close the Oasis Natural Products Health Food store. We feel there is a butchers cleaver above our heads too.

Croydon Vs Lewisham in Worst Health Title Battle
It seems Croydon has a challenger for it's role as unhealthiest borough in London. Lewisham council are fighting for top spot with their latest health gaff. Lewisham's health and social welfare department have been persecuting a local family because of their decision not to eat meat or dairy.
Complete and utter madness bordering on professional incompetance – will they win the crown for unhealthiest borough in London?
