As a nation of foodies, we love all types of cuisine; French, Italian, Spanish, Moroccan, Greek, Indian – you name it. From the 17^th to the 21^st of June, Regent’s Park will be home to Taste of London, a five-day festival where 40 of London’s best restaurants will be showing off their latest dishes. Known as the world’s greatest restaurant festival, Taste of London is the perfect place to sample some of the finest restaurants in London, while also taking a few master classes to brush up on your own kitchen skills. There’s wine and champagne tasting and live demonstrations, all taking place in the glorious sunshine (hopefully) at Regent’s Park.
