A vegan restaurant in London has become the first in the UK to be awarded a Michelin star.Several other restaurants, including one serving The Ritz hotel in London, were also awarded stars at a ceremony in Glasgow on Monday.
In all, nine restaurants in the capital received their first star, which included Plates London, on Old Street, which serves a fully plant-based menu.
