About London's Community Kitchen
Working today for a brighter, and better tomorrow
Since we were founded back in 2014, London’s Community Kitchen has become an important part of the communities in and across suburban London.
Our Ethos of Zero Waste & Zero Hunger is the blueprint to our entire operations, we believe it to be an absolute human right to have access to free or affordable food for the most vulnerable communities across London.
We work with the most dedicated and charitable people to help ease the suffering of those we work with. Contact us to learn more about what you can do to help, and become a part of the change by donating or volunteering today.
Who We Are
Our Ethos of Zero Waste & Zero Hunger is the blueprint for our entire operation. We believe it to be an absolute human right to have access to affordable food and to support the most vulnerable communities across London.
London’s Community Kitchen (LCK) was established in West London in 2014, in order to provide local people in Barnet, Brent and Harrow with Cookery courses and ensure they have access to free food if needed. The LCK ethos is zero waste, zero hunger.
We are creating a new Urban Farm on land that belongs to Harrow School. This will allow us to provide programmes on sustainable food production and garden management to complement our free food services and academic programmes. It will lead to new employment opportunities for local communities and promote environmental benefits that support the green agenda.
