The Taste of London Summer 2019

London has always been home to some of the best events in the city.

When it comes to art and entertainment especially, London is one of the premiere spots for an all-around festival atmosphere. Whatever you’re into, the eclectic mix of culture and energy that you find at a festival makes going to one the perfect summer experience.

But, it’s not just events London is known for – the city’s food scene is known around the world, too. With so many diverse cultures and restaurants, it’s no surprise areas such as Borough Market and Brick Lane are considered must-visit locations while in town.

What happens when you combine food and festival? The Taste of London! This annual festival, taking place in Regents Park and ensuring some of the best dishes in the country, is one of the most exciting dining experiences available in the city. Check it out for interactive events, masterclasses and (of course) some of the best food out there.

What is the Taste of London?

Masterclasses

The Taste of London gives you a chance to learn from the best, bringing celebrity chefs to the Fire Pit stage to show guests some of their tricks of the trade.

What’s more, you can book tickets to masterclasses such as The Wild Kitchen where you’ll learn the skills you need to grow your own ingredients in an urban environment. The Cook  School from the Food Network also offers beginners a free 30-minute session on basic cooking skills.
