I'm going to be in London for in a couple of weeks time. It's mostly a business trip where I don't get to decide where to eat, but I'll have half a Monday to myself. Where should I have lunch? Something near Victoria station would be convenient since I need to catch a train to Gatwick afterwards.

Hmmm. Well, if there isn't anything interesting near Victoria, I'm willing to go somewhere else. I don't really have anything else planned at this point...

I'll be spending a long weekend in London with my mother, who has celiac disease and is intimidated by very posh things. One of the things I'd like to do is take her for a traditional-but-not-too-fancy afternoon tea, and obviously it needs to be gluten free. Any ideas?

Also, how difficult is it to find gluten free food in general? Does the average restaurant mark gluten free options on their menus?

Thanks for the suggestions! Will check out Ottolenghi, and probably Niche too :)

Yeah, I get that the point of afternoon tea is delicious cakes. She was diagnosed 20 years ago and she rarely gets to have delicious cakes unless she makes them herself (she's not bad at gluten free baking, though), so I'm determined to find a place where she can have some nice choices, instead of just getting the one gluten free thing on the menu.
