Taste of London

The Taste of London festival returns to the beautiful surroundings of Regent's Park for another four-day celebration of fine food and drink. Forty of London's top restaurants serve sample-sized dishes and celebrated chefs reveal the tricks of the trade.

Restaurants are represented in a series of marquees along with stages where celebrity chefs take part in demos, wine tastings and tutorials. Hundreds of exhibitors offer mouth-watering ingredients and cooking and kitchen utensils are on sale, so make sure you go with an empty stomach and a full wallet.

The festival has its own currency - the Crown - with which you can purchase food and drink. A series of different tickets offer everything from entry only to Connoisseur packages that include Crowns, gift bags, fast-track entry and showguides.
