The information below was before coronavirus, it might not be the same now. Places might have changed their opening times or location or closed down. If you spot any errors, please leave a message in the comments at the bottom of this page with the correct information. It is not possible for me to keep this website updated as I do not have the means, including no internet (other than the free wifi at soup kitchens when I’m there) and no phone credit, as I have never had any donations or funding to write this website.

This is London’s most comprehensive list of free food at homeless day centres, soup kitchens, soup runs, community fridges and food banks without referral – 458 places to be exact… and counting! Help make it to 500 by adding any missing ones in the comments below.
You only find out about most places that offer free meals by word of mouth, which involves a lot of asking around and takes a long time.
For the record, most people who go to places than offer free food are not homeless. mostly disabled people on benefits and pensioners. Most were homeless in the distant past.

This list of soup kitchens and soup runs is a work in progress. If you’ve spotted any errors, please let me know so I can correct them – if any have closed down or changed their opening times, or if any of the web links no longer work.
Can you be more specific about what food is on the menu?
Anything else we need to know about, like if a day centre asks for your details, or wants to assess you before they’ll let you through the door, or they make you sit through a sermon before you can eat?
Do you know any other places where you can get a free meal?
Please leave a message in the comments section below with the soup kitchen or soup run’s name, address, opening times and what kind of food they offer.

WARNING Stay away for your own safety
Jesus Centre, who also themselves Jesus Army and Jesus Fellowship have been tricking London roughsleepers into going to their Northamptonshire New Creation Farm with offers of accommodation since the 1980’s where they have found themselves victims of modern slavery doing backbreaking work without pay, their benefits stolen, raped and sexually assaulted. Those who have escaped had to walk back to London. Jesus Army continued to claim housing benefit after they left, which is housing benefit fraud. Jesus Army have sexually abused hundreds of children. twitter.com/jasurvivors

Mon-Fri 11am-3pm. 3 course lunch at 12:30pm. Best food and decor in any soup kitchen in London, like a posh restaurant. Ask for a meal ticket for a free meal. After charging homeless who are not sleeping rough and ex-homeless £2.50 for food they get donated for free from Felix Project and everybody having to lie they were roughsleepers to get a free meal, St Cuthbert’s have finally changed their policy on their website: “We offer both breakfast and homemade three-course course lunches. This is provided entirely free of charge to rough sleepers and homeless. Those who feel they can contribute are encouraged to make a suggested donation of £2.50 that goes towards the upkeep of the Centre. Each week, we offer an entirely free meal to everyone.” Obviously we don’t “feel we can contribute” £2.50 for food they get for free when we’re on benefit/no benefits and all the other soup kitchens are free. One free hot drink before lunch and another after lunch with meal ticket. Extra hot drinks – coffee 50p & tea 40p
