It has always been a joy to cook with Asma over the years and we’re looking forward to bringing the London community together at Battersea Power Station to celebrate the city’s diverse dining scene.”

Some of the events taking place at this year’s London Seafood Festival include: limited edition ticketed dinners, kitchen takeovers, masterclasses with renowned chefs and special festival menus inside the restaurants, bars and shops at Battersea Power Station, including seafood specialists Wright Brothers on the 12th and 13th June.

Meanwhile, those with families can experience St Ives Mermaid swimming into town all the way from her home in Cornwall, face painting, and interactive performances from Miss Ballooniverse – balloon artist to the stars and beyond, and all-new Ocho the Octopus – the 4m high, 7m wide ground-breaking inflatable by Tim Davies Design.

Nicola Casperson, Live and Brand Experiences Director, said: “Let’s face it, most Londoners are totally nuts about seafood – and the success of the festival last year just goes to prove it! Seafood is so versatile in terms of its appeal, from fine dining to street vans and stalls, there’s something for everyone, and this riverside location makes it the ideal place to enjoy all that London Seafood Festival has to offer.”
