The Late Edition

London's evening edition. Independent, updated daily.

Taste of London is held in Regent's Park in June. The 2027 dates have not been announced, so these follow the usual pattern.

Taste of London 2027: the food festival in Regent’s Park

Four days in Regent's Park in June. Restaurants serving small plates, producers selling, and a lot of it costs money on top of the ticket.

Stalls at an outdoor food festival

Four days in Regent’s Park, in June. London restaurants set up stands and sell small versions of their dishes, alongside producers, drinks brands, and a programme of workshops and chef demonstrations.

What it costs, honestly

The entry ticket gets you in and nothing else. Food and drink are bought inside on top of it, so the real cost is the ticket plus whatever you eat, and it adds up faster than people expect. Going hungry and treating it as dinner rather than as a day of grazing is the cheaper way to do it.

Which ticket

The cheaper sessions are the weekday ones, and evening sessions are usually busier and more of an event. Premium tickets bundle food credit and fast entry, which is worth the difference only if you were going to spend that anyway.

Worth knowing

It is outdoors and it is a park, so a wet June makes it a different day entirely. The chef demonstrations are included and are the part people most often skip and then wish they had not.

Questions people ask

When is Taste of London 2027?

Four days in Regent's Park in June. The 2027 dates have not been announced, so ours follow the usual pattern.

Is food included in the ticket?

No. Entry and food are separate: you buy dishes inside on top of the ticket price. Budget for both.

Which is the cheapest session?

Weekday sessions are usually cheaper and quieter than evenings and weekends.

Is it worth a premium ticket?

Only if the bundled food credit matches what you were going to spend anyway. Otherwise it is paying ahead for the same thing.

What happens if it rains?

It goes ahead. It is an outdoor park event, so wet weather changes the day considerably.
