Taste of London's five-day festival of food and drink is coming to Regent's Park this summer (18-22 June 2025). We've rounded up some of the best things to look out for at this year's event.
1. Taste your way through London's restaurant scene
You can always count on Taste Of London for a top line-up of the city's best restaurants. First-timers this year, in addition to plenty of returning favourites, include Soho seafood spot Manzi's, Bébé Bob with its chicken, caviar and champagne and Japanese and Korean restaurant Akira Back. Film director Guy Ritchie is bringing his Lore of the Land pub while Catalonian restaurant The Campaner from Chelsea and Empire Empire with its 70's disco take on Indian food are also making their debut this year.
2. Watch a world-class burger showdown
If you're heading to Taste of London on Friday, you'll be in prime position to see a brand new showdown as two star competitors from the 2024 World Food Championships battle it out for the accolade of best burger. This year, Hassan Naja - the Dubai-based brains behind One More and winner of the World’s Best Burger - is going head-to-head with Judge's Choice award-winners The Beefy Boys.
3. Get schooled in modern Korean BBQ
Some of the city's top Korean chefs are heading to Regent's Park to share their country's cuisine with Londoners at this year’s K-Food BBQ Cook School. Chefs taking part in barbecue demonstrations include Woongchul Park of Michelin-starred restaurant Sollip, Dana Choi, Head Chef at new City hotspot Jang and Chef Hanhee Lee from Mayfair's The Twenty Two.
4. Get back to nature with The Royal Parks
There couldn't be a better place than The Regent's Park to celebrate all things sustainability, wellbeing, diversity and nature. Swing by one of The Taste Sessions in partnership with the Royal Parks - a series of intimate talks, tastings and demonstrations. Hear from brands such as Inflorescence Wine Tasting, who foster pollinated flowers into wine, Hackney Herbal, known for promoting wellbeing through herbs and Find & Foster, a Devon-based company revitalising neglected orchards to produce fine ciders.
5. Take a trip to Italy or Cannes (without leaving London)
You might be in Zone 1, but that doesn't mean you can't transport yourself to sunny Cannes is to visit the 'Spirit of the Riviera' Yacht, where you enjoy a chilled glass of Miraval Provence Rosé, a delicious Gardener Gin Martini or relax with oysters and a glass of Petite Fleur Rosé Champagne. If Italy is more your cup of coffee, there are immersive masterclasses at illy's Università del Caffè to try alongside their signature coffee cocktails.
You're worth it! Go VIP at Taste this year
From fast-track entry to a glass of Champagne and complimentary snacks, the VIP Lounge at Taste of London is definitely the best way to enjoy the festival. VIP packages get you access to the exclusive VIP Lounge while this year's entertainment comes courtesy of KISS, who are bringing the biggest Dance and R&B sounds to Taste of London with live DJ sets from Justin Wilkes, Matchstick, Davda and more.
