Taste of London
Taste of London takes place Mid-Jun 2027 (dates TBC; 2026 edition ran Jun 17 - 21) in London, UK. The dress code is Smart casual summer daywear for a park setting; comfortable shoes for grass. Typical cost ranges from 40 to 150 EUR per person.
London's flagship restaurant festival turns Regent's Park into a graze-able map of the city's dining scene: dozens of top restaurants serve tasting-size signature dishes alongside chef demos, masterclasses and drinks bars. It is the most efficient single afternoon in London eating. The 2026 edition has passed; the festival returns to its usual mid-June slot in 2027.

How to attend
Buy timed session tickets in advance at london.tastefestivals.com - general, premium and evening options - then pay for food and drink inside with festival 'crowns' loaded onto a card. Entry tickets are modest; the spend is the grazing. Fully open to the public, but weekend sessions sell out.
The 2026 festival is over and 2027 tickets are not on sale yet - the organiser is only taking newsletter sign-ups for the announcement.
Insider tip
Go to an evening session on a weekday - same restaurants, better atmosphere, and the signature-dish queues are half the weekend length.
