Winter Wonderland & Christmas Markets (Free)
Likely London’s largest and most exuberant Christmas market, Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park has become a defining feature of the capital’s festive season. What began in the mid‑2000s as a modest winter fair has grown into a vast seasonal village, inspired by the great Christmas markets of continental Europe and reimagined on a grand London scale. Each winter, from November through early January, Hyde Park is transformed into a glowing celebration of light, food, music and winter cheer, welcoming millions of visitors.
At the heart of Winter Wonderland lies Angel’s Christmas Market, a maze of charming Alpine‑style wooden chalets—far more enchanting than garden shed, offering everything from handcrafted ornaments and personalised gifts to festive treats and nostalgic sweets. The scent of roasted chestnuts, mulled wine and spiced sausages drifts through the air, while strings of lights and towering decorations create an atmosphere reminiscent of traditional German and Austrian markets.
Beyond shopping, Winter Wonderland is designed as a full festive experience. Over the years it has expanded to include the famous Bavarian Village, ice skating around a Victorian bandstand, fairground rides and seasonal entertainment, blending centuries‑old winter traditions with modern spectacle. More than just a market, it has become a ritual of the London winter, signalling the true arrival of Christmas in the city.

Our Special Pubs for You!
Manetta’s Bar Flemings (Mayfair): Plush velvet, supple black upholstery and polished rose gold set the scene for some seriously stylish sips in an ambience redolent of the glamorous 1930s.

The Harp (Covent Garden): This cosy pub is a haven for real ale enthusiasts, offering a rotating selection of cask ales and traditional pub snacks. The atmosphere is relaxed, making it a great spot to unwind after a day of exploring Covent Garden.
The Spaniards Inn (Hampstead): Dating back to the 16th century, The Spaniards Inn is steeped in history and charm. Set against the backdrop of Hampstead Heath, this pub is perfect for enjoying a pint by the fireplace or in the picturesque beer garden.
The Lamb & Flag (Covent Garden): Known as one of London's oldest pubs, The Lamb & Flag has been serving customers since the 18th century. With its low ceilings, wooden beams, and cosy nooks, it's a quintessential British pub experience.

Visit the Leadenhall Market
Leadenhall Market and Harry Potter are closely linked for two reasons.
The first reason is that with its cobbled streets, beautiful facades, and narrow alleys, J.K. Rowling was inspired by Leadenhall Market when imagining Diagon Alley.
The second reason is that some scenes from the Harry Potter films were shot at Leadenhall Market.
One notable scene takes place there when Hagrid takes Harry to the "Leaky Cauldron," the pub that provides access to Diagon Alley.
