How can we help?

If you contract COVID-19 ahead of Taste of London, we first wish you a speedy recovery and ask that you follow all government guidelines at the time of the festival.

If you have purchased a ticket to the festival, you’re able to roll your ticket over to the festive edition of Taste of London 2021 or join us at Taste of London 2022. Please contact SeeTickets at www.seetickets.com/customerservice to arrange your ticket transfer.

If you have purchased a ticket to Taste of London 2021 and the festival is cancelled due to COVID-19, you can either choose to roll your ticket over to the following festive edition of Taste of London or to Taste of London 2022.

In the unlikely event that the festival is cancelled, we’ll contact all ticket holders to confirm which alternative event they’d like to attend.

Health and safety remains our priority and we’re continually monitoring the situation and advice. We are working closely with the Local Authority and Safety Advisory Group to ensure the festival adheres to all government guidelines in place at the time of the event.

Taste of London provides the opportunity to sample and shop from the best restaurants and artisan producers London has to offer, with lots of foodie fun and live entertainment sprinkled on top.

Most restaurant dishes are priced between £3 - £7 and there will be lots of complimentary food and drink tastings from our producers for you to take advantage of. 

At Taste of London we are serious about limiting our environmental impact and ensuring it can be mitigated by reducing waste volumes, increasing recycling rates and improving our resource management. We go to great lengths to ensure that we put out as many bins as possible in order to collect all waste generated by the event. What is often not seen is what happens with this waste once the bins are collected. We work very closely with our cleansing teams and waste disposal contractors to segregate waste into glass, cardboard, cans, plastic bottles, paper and cooking oil which where possible it is all sent for recycling. 

 Work also goes on behind the scenes at Taste, all our general waste is tipped at a waste transfer station and is screened before being processed, so anything that can be recycled is separated and recycled if possible. What can’t be reused or recycled is then sent for recovery at an R1 rated Energy for Waste facility. If in doubt, put all bottles and cans in recycling bins and everything else into the general waste bins
