Despite there being a plethora of incredible independent coffee shops and restaurants, the temptation to turn to a chain for convenience is often all too easy a trap to fall into. I've had my fair share of Starbucks before jumping ship and discovering real coffee in the the likes of Monmouth, Notes and Peyton & Byrne. When it comes to food, there's nothing quite as depressing as having to settle for a Boots meal deal or battle your way through the sandwiches aisle at Sainsbury's on a frazzled and hectic lunch break. That's where Leon is an absolute godsend.
Yes, Leon is a chain, and yes, Leon is fast food. But it's not ordinary fast food. Leon offers "naturally fast food" that not only tastes amazing but is also pretty good for you. Inspired by the Mediterranean, the menu focuses on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seeds and unrefined cereals, and boasts options that are gluten/dairy/wheat free, low in saturated fat and Vegan. If you're in London and stuck for somewhere to eat, then it's definitely worth giving Leon a try.
