WIinter Wonderland

Hyde Park

Monday - Sunday: 10am - 10pm

Tickets required

Whether you want to see the city from new heights, chill out in the coolest bar in Hyde Park, catch a thrill on an exhilarating coaster, indulge in a delicious dish or immerse yourself in a frozen world, there’s so much to do at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Don’t forget that if you spend £25 on attractions, rides and food & drink you’ll get your entry for free, check out below to see what we’ve got in store for you.

 

Whether you want to sip mulled wine overlooking the River Thames, browse crafts by local artisans or immerse yourself in all things festive at a huge carnival, we bring you some of the best Christmas markets in London.

Leadenhall Market:  Dating back to the 14th century, Leadenhall is one of the oldest markets in London. It’s also one of the most stunning — its Victorian wrought iron and glass structure has been carefully preserved, and never looks better than at Christmas, when the shopping arcade sparkles under glimmering lights and an 18ft tree. 

The South Bankstretch of the Thames will be lined with traditional alpine-style chalets from November 1 to December 26 for its free annual market. Visitors can shop handmade jewelry, homewares and other gifts from independent craft traders and dine on a variety of tasty street food like truffle burgers, duck wraps and churros. 

Burrogh Market: The culinary institution is a must-visit all year round, but it’s especially lovely at Christmastime, when its historic green arches are adorned with festive garlands, fairy lights and leafy trees. The market extends its hours in December, too, and is open every day up to Christmas Eve. 

Covent Garden: It doesn’t get much more Christmassy than the annual Christmas tree sparkling with tens of thousands of colourful lights in Covent Garden. Head down to see it towering in its glory and enter the magical Christmas Village spread across the East Piazza of the market building. Mooch around the craft stalls for Christmas gift shopping, warm up at one of the mulled wine stations along Central Avenue, or check out Miracle at Henrietta Experimental, undoubtedly London's most festive bar.
