The Late Edition

London's evening edition. Independent, updated daily.

Food festivals and drink events in London this week

Markets, late kitchens, the pubs that are worth the journey, and the strips where dinner is the evening rather than the thing before it. Prices here are what a main course or a pint actually costs, not the cheapest thing on the menu, and anywhere serving after eleven is flagged.

What to expect

39 listings filed under Food and drink. The busiest rooms are Woolwich Works, Hyde Park and Leadenhall Market. Concentrated in Mayfair, Woolwich and Shoreditch.

Nearby

Every listing here has been checked against the venue that is putting it on.

Friday

23 October
  1. Food and drink Free

    Leadenhall Market

    07:00 Leadenhall Market, The City

    A Victorian covered market in cream and burgundy, free to walk through and open to the street. Busy with the City at lunch and almost empty at the weekend, which is when to photograph it.

  2. Food and drink From £8

    Lunchtime in Leadenhall Market

    12:00 Leadenhall Market, The City

    The traders under the roof are mostly food at midday, and the pubs put their tables out under the ironwork. Weekdays only: most of it shuts by early evening and all of it at the weekend.
