Taste Festivals has organised the Taste of London Festival since 2004, an annual event held over several days each June in Regent's Park's Inner Circle in North London. The festival gathers pop-up stands from more than 40 London restaurants alongside artisan food, wine, and spirits producers, with a schedule of chef demonstrations and masterclasses on a main stage.

Taste Festivals has organised the Taste of London Festival since 2004, an annual event held over several days each June in Regent's Park's Inner Circle in North London. The festival gathers pop-up stands from more than 40 London restaurants alongside artisan food, wine, and spirits producers, with a schedule of chef demonstrations and masterclasses on a main stage. Visits typically last from a half day to a full day, with festival-goers moving freely between restaurant pop-ups, producer stalls, and stage demonstrations rather than following a fixed route. The standard entry ticket covers festival access; individual dishes, drinks, and some masterclasses are purchased separately using the festival's token or card payment system, so the entry price does not cover food and drink itself. The event runs primarily in English, is open to all ages, and marquee seating is available, though it can be busy and loud during peak weekend sessions.

Tips for visiting

  • Budget separately for food and drink, since the entry ticket covers access only and dishes are paid for individually.
  • Book chef masterclasses in advance, as popular sessions sell out before the festival dates.
  • Arrive early on weekend days to avoid the longest queues at popular restaurant stands.
  • Check the festival's dietary filter information for stands offering vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free dishes.
  • Wear comfortable shoes, as Regent's Park's marquees and paths involve significant walking over several hours.
