As the Mid-Autumn Festival 2025 approaches, share joy and togetherness with the best mooncakes London has to offer.
This year, the Mid-Autumn Festival lands on Monday, 6th October 2025. In Chinese culture, it is a tradition to eat mooncakes on this day. According to folklore, mooncakes are the favourite treat of Chang’e, the goddess who resides on the moon. Their round shape symbolizes family reunion, while the fillings represent people’s longing for a happy and fulfilling life.
In London, celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival also means discovering the city’s finest mooncakes and enjoying them with loved ones. From traditional lotus seed paste to modern flavours like matcha or chocolate, London offers a wide range of choices to mark the occasion.
If you’re unsure where to find the most delicious mooncakes, this guide will point you in the right direction. If you’re looking for Mid-Autumn Festival events in London to join in with, then read this article.

HongKong MX Mooncake
If you want to avoid some of the more expensive options, why not head to your local Chinese supermarket? They will have plenty of mooncakes on offer, but we recommend the Hong Kong MX Mooncake. It is one of the most beloved Hong Kong–style mooncakes in China, with its iconic lotus seed paste with egg yolk and double yolk white lotus seed paste varieties being especially popular. If you don’t have a supermarket nearby, they are also available for home delivery via Chinese delivery apps like Joybuy or Pandafresh.
Price Range: Varies, pastries are typically from £3-5
Address: You can easily find MX mooncakes in Chinese supermarkets.
Website: They don’t have a website of their own in UK, but you can find them on the Joybuy and Pandafresh.
