Gluten-Free Dining in London: 19 Verified Addresses

If there’s one capital where “gluten free” appears on nearly every menu, it’s London. The homeland of Coeliac UK — one of the most influential coeliac associations in the world — has turned allergen information into a national reflex. Our database counts 19 verified addresses here, 14 of them fully dedicated: places where you can order anything on the menu without a round of questioning. And London’s gluten-free scene holds a real surprise: its 100% gluten-free spots speak with a Latin American accent.

The city in numbers

Two very British institutions

Let’s start with the unthinkable: a fish and chips shop where everything is gluten free. Wicked Fish (4.7★), at Spitalfields Market, fries fish, sauces and sides without a trace of wheat — you can order anything on the menu with your eyes closed, right in the heart of the East End.

Another landmark: Niche, in Clerkenwell, which bills itself as London’s first 100% gluten-free restaurant accredited by Coeliac UK — with five consecutive years of Grade A certification. Its menu, also nut- and sesame-free, reworks British and European classics, signature pie included.

The surprise: London’s 100% gluten-free scene speaks Latin American

This is where the city’s personality shines through: corn flour, naturally gluten free, has made Latin American kitchens the champions of the “everything dedicated” approach. Los Mochis Notting Hill (4.5★, over 2,500 reviews) blends Mexico and Japan — ceviches, tacos, cocktails — in a kitchen that’s entirely gluten free and nut free. Its bigger sibling Los Mochis, on a 9th-floor rooftop near Liverpool Street, serves the same fusion with a view over the city and gluten-free churros for dessert.

Near St George’s Circus, Paladar (4.7★, nearly 2,000 reviews) serves creative Latin American cuisine that’s 100% gluten free and oat free, backed by house cocktails — indoors or in the covered garden. On the street food side, the choice is superb: Tacos Padre at Borough Market (corn tortillas, staff attentive to allergies), Arepazo Bros AREPA (4.6★) and its Venezuelan arepas at Camden Lock Market, and Pabellon Venezuelan Food, a winner at the 2019 British Street Food Awards, on weekends at Southbank Centre Food Market.

Special mention for Quinta (4.6★), a Salvadoran pupuseria in South Kensington: the vast majority of the menu is gluten free, but the kitchen still keeps a few wheat tortillas and regular beers, handled separately — flag it when you order.

Dedicated bakeries and sweet treats

Six wheat-free bakeries, four of them fully gluten-free, and not minor ones. Libby’s, in Notting Hill, has offered bread, almond croissants and sandwiches designed for stress-free ordering since 2021. Manna Dew (4.5★), in Battersea, has its pastries tested in an independent lab: under 5 ppm of gluten, well below the legal threshold. At Borough Market, the Ma Ma Boutique Bakery (4.8★) stall turns out cinnamon rolls and bread from a dedicated kitchen, and on weekends at Old Spitalfields Market, The Polka Dot Bakery pulls off the vegan-plus-gluten-free double on cookies and brownies. And since 2026, Paris-based Copains, France’s largest chain of wheat-free bakeries, has crossed the Channel: Copains Covent Garden, 54 Neal Street, and Copains Islington, 133 Upper Street, opened in February. French-style bread, viennoiseries and pastries — with one caveat: several recipes contain certified gluten-free oats.

Two more sweet spots: the doughnuts at Borough 22 in the Selfridges food hall — gluten free, dairy free, egg free, nut free — and DIJöN (4.9★), a 100% gluten-free café-pizzeria at Hampstead Community Market, run by an owner who is himself coeliac.

Two gluten-free menus worth knowing (with caution)

Utter Waffle (4.8★), in Herne Hill, serves waffles that are all gluten free, sweet or savoury with fried chicken — but one or two toppings contain gluten, so the kitchen remains mixed. Urban Greens (4.8★), on Kensington High Street, labels many salads gluten free on a menu that also includes regular pasta: flag your allergy and check the allergen matrix. In both cases, the right habits are the ones covered in our guide to cross-contamination.

Our tips on the ground

• The phrase to know: “I have coeliac disease — is it gluten free and cooked separately?”. The word “coeliac” is understood everywhere, and taken seriously.
• Head for the markets: Borough Market, Spitalfields, Camden Lock and Southbank concentrate a level of dedicated street food that’s rare in Europe.
• Look for Coeliac UK accreditation: the association audits restaurants — it’s the country’s most reliable safety guarantee.
