Winter Wonderland

London during the festive season is beautiful. 

All the streets in Central London are covered in lights and there is so many things to see and do. 

It truly is spectacular.

Just before Christmas my Frenchy and I decided to explore London by night and see how beautiful this city is. We ended up at Winter Wonderland.

Located at Hyde Park, there is kilometres and kilometres of things to see and do at the Park. So where to start? It's nice to stroll around the different markets so why not enjoy a hot cup of steaming mulled wine while you do?

Mulled wine is a traditional European drink enjoyed during the festive season. It's made from red wine and seasoned with spices. For me, it was an acquired taste! It took a few mouthfuls until I started enjoying it. As it was cold outside, I chose to enjoy my mulled wine, steaming hot!

Once you have your mulled wine or other beverage of choice, it's a great time to explore the markets. Here you can find gifts for yourself or even your loved ones. Now that Christmas is over, it's nice to treat yourself. There is lots of unique jewellery, handmade leather goods and much much more. You'll be sure to find something.

There is also so many activities to do at Winter Wonderland. You can play sideshow games, go ice skating, explore the ice kingdom and for the adults, you can go to Bar Ice for a chilling drink. Some activities require pre booked tickets so plan ahead.

After the many activities, it's time for some food. Upon exploration of the Park, there are many food stands to choose from. You can have your pick from German sausages, burgers, fries and for the sweet tooth, you can enjoy waffles or French crepes! There is even a bon fire where you can enjoy roasted marshmallows!

Winter Wonderland is a great place for everyone. You can enjoy a romantic evening walking around the park with your loved one and even the whole family. All this fun is only a short 5 minute walk to Hyde Park Corner tube station!

If you haven't explored Winter Wonderland yet, you definitely should! But be quick, they close the doors on the 3rd of January!
