Ever since London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, the city has been scrambling to clean up its act. As a result, this once smoggy metropolis has transformed itself into a clean, green urban oasis. Parks are as popular as pubs, bicycles are on the rise, farmer’s markets are everywhere, and more restaurants and grocers are emphasizing organic, locally-sourced ingredients. Olympic fever is spreading and today’s London is better than ever for health-conscious, veg-minded travelers.
