Taste of London Accessibility

View our Taste of London Access Guide here.

Festival site description

All our entrances are accessible and step-free. We are working to make Taste of London as accessible as possible. However, Taste of London is an outdoor event within a park that could pose problems for mobility (particularly in wet weather). Please see below an image of the terrain across the site.

If you find queueing difficult and require a faster entry to the festival upon arrival with your PA, please make yourself known to a steward at the gate who will be able to direct you to our accessible queuing lane. This will also be signposted for your convenience.

Please note that there are bag searches in operation at all of our entrances.

Queues can be expected at some of our most popular restaurants throughout the event and therefore customers may extend past the ramps and marquee and guests will be asked to queue on the grass.

Please note that Taste of London can include flashing lights, flash photography and music throughout the festival.

Ticketing

Personal Assistant/Companion tickets for our accessible guests are admitted free to Taste of London. If you require a personal assistant ticket, please contact See Tickets Customer Services at www.seetickets.com/customerservice who will be happy to assist you with booking this in. Please note that free personal assistant tickets will only be given when accompanying a purchased ticket.

Please be prepared to present the relevant documentation to support your complimentary ticket request. This will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

• CredAbility Access Card (with +1 icon)
