I have been in Planet Organic a couple of times - the shop just round the corner from Tottenham Court Road - I don't know if there are any other branches. I find a lot of the things they sell are a bit too hard on my insides - anything with nuts, seeds, dried fruit, is too much for me - unfortunately - I used to live on stuff like that!
Have you tried Swedish Glace soya ice-cream? Vanilla and Chocolate are both very good and about 10% fat (I think - haven't got any here to check!)
Also, fat-free honeycake, for sale in lots of HFS and some supermarkets, usually a Dutch brandname.
Fromsoya "cheese" spread, especially the one with horseradish flavouring.
Quorn - don't know what I'd do without it! Also Realeat TVP mince and pieces.
Cauldron marinated tofu, also the beech-smoked variety ... very easy to use in quick recipes because they have such a good flavour.
miso, tofu, pickled ginger - Clearspring is a good brand for all Japanese food ingredients.
In other cities, similar shops I know of:
Glasgow - Grassroots - fantastic shop, very good Japanese food section, plus wide choice of herbal teas, different kinds of bread, rice, quinoa, etc.
Manchester - On the Eighth Day; also Oxford - Uhuru, but I don't know for sure if they are still running.
