A Lady in London

One of my favorite events of the summer is Taste of London. The annual food festival takes place every June in Regent’s Park, and the top restaurants in London cook up small portions of their signature dishes. Visitors traipse through the grounds eating and drinking all afternoon, and the end result is pure gastronomic bliss.

One of my favorite things about London in June is that all of the best annual events takes place. There’s Royal Ascot, Wimbledon, Hard Rock Calling, and—not least among these—the foodie extravaganza that is Taste of London.

Last June my boyfriend and I bought tickets to Taste of London, a temporary foodie paradise in Regent’s Park that featured top London restaurants selling miniature portions of their signature dishes. We couldn’t wait to go. Unfortunately, a little something called the Face of Ascot competition forced us to change our plans. Instead of heading to Regent’s Park that Saturday to eat good food and drink champagne, we headed to Royal Ascot for a second time. Thankfully it was worth the trip.

But we still wanted to taste London. This year we knew we would attend Royal Ascot well in advance, so we bought our Taste of London tickets for Sunday. We headed out to the park at noon, met up with a friend of ours, and surveyed the scene. It was huge! White tents stretched out endlessly in front of us emanating amazing scents from grilled meat to hot chocolate to roast vegetables.
