Thai food and drink

Vendors will serve savoury dishes from different parts of Thailand alongside desserts, traditional sweets, ice cream, Thai milk tea and beer. Entry is free, but food and drinks are purchased separately.

Popular stalls may develop queues around lunch and early evening. Arriving close to opening time can make it easier to browse before the busiest period.

How to get to Potters Fields Park

Potters Fields Park sits on the south side of the Thames next to Tower Bridge and close to City Hall. London Bridge station is the most useful major transport hub. Tower Hill station is across the bridge on the north side of the river.

The riverside area becomes busy during summer weekends. Public transport is simpler than driving, and walking along the Thames is part of the experience.

How to enjoy it on a small budget

Bring water, set a food budget and focus on the free programme. You can combine the festival with a riverside walk past HMS Belfast, Borough Market, Southwark Cathedral and Tate Modern. Walking across Tower Bridge is also free.

Borough Market is nearby but can be expensive, so eating beforehand is another option if you mainly want the performances and atmosphere.
