Islington residents rallied together to set up outdoor soup kitchens by Angel Station and Old Street Station on Christmas Day.
The initiative was open to all but focused on feeding the elderly, hungry and homeless around the borough.
A team of 13 volunteers handed out more than 300 meals from noon onwards on Christmas Day.
Two stalls were set up at each site to comply with the new Covid rules.
One of the stalls served tea, coffee and biscuits while the other served hot food including chicken Biriyani, vegetable curry and vegetarian samosas, as well as crisps, fruit, yoghurt and bottled water.
