Taco fever has well and truly taken over London, we just can’t get enough of the bite-size tortillas. Good job then that the latest installment of the Tacover is back in London to satisfy our cravings. Signature Brew is hosting a whopping taco festival with 10 sizzling vendors from across the UK offering up three different tacos each (including vegan options) which are all capped at £4. Los Gordos, Proper Tacos, Birria Taco, Mex Club and Pako Tacos are all on the line-up. In between snacks there’ll be beer, DJ sets, competitions (from tortilla slaps to speed eating), raffles and a specialist margarita bar.
The sky is blue, we can occasionally go outside without wearing a jacket and it’s only a little bit chilly in the evenings. It can only mean the start of a new season is officially here. Whether you’re after alfresco fun or brain-expanding culture, the coming week is packed with fun stuff.
Get into the spirit of summer by indulging in some outdoor action. Hit up The Globe Theatre to see a sitcom-style production of Shakespeare’s ‘Twelfth Night’, chill out in Signature Bewery while feasting on tacos from some of the best Mexican kitchens in the city, sink artisanal suds at the Crystal Palace Beer Festival, or have a boogie in the sun at one of the many day festivals taking place over the bank holiday weekend.
Rather stay in? See Elton John’s impressive photography collection at the V&A which tells a story about ‘style, fashion and the crippling excesses of success’. Get to know weird and wonderful birds at the Natural History Museum’s new exhibition or head to your favourite indie cinema to see a Martin Scorsese-narrated film ‘Made in England’ celebrating British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger.
Still got gaps in your diary? Embrace the warmer days with a look at the best places to see spring flowers in London, or have a cosy time in one of London’s best pubs. If you’ve still got some space in your week, check out London’s best bars and restaurants, or take in one of these lesser-known London attractions.
