Which London organization did Mahatma Gandhi join to promote vegetarianism while studying law?

Mahatma Gandhi joined the London Vegetarian Society while studying law in London.

Gandhi arrived in England in 1888 and initially struggled to maintain his vegetarian diet in an unfamiliar environment. He soon became involved with vegetarian circles and joined the London Vegetarian Society, which advocated vegetarian eating on ethical, health, and economic grounds.

His participation went beyond simply attending meals. Gandhi wrote for the society’s journal and met people who encouraged him to examine vegetarianism through reasoned argument rather than family custom alone.

This period helped shape his lifelong interest in ethical self-discipline. His London experiences also included legal study, religious reading, and contact with reform-minded groups, although the Vegetarian Society was separate from organizations such as the Theosophical Society.
