Can you hear them in the distance, those faint jingling bells? The\u00a0festive season is upon us and London\u2019s Christmas\u00a0attractions<\/a>\u00a0have returned with all the usual lights displays<\/a>, festive shopping opportunities<\/a>\u00a0and skating rinks<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to just Christmas markets, in 2025 Londoners are truly spoiled for choice. This year\u2019s Time Out\u00a0list of the capital\u2019s top festive fairs<\/a>\u00a0stretches beyond 30, giving you more than enough places to sip mulled wine, snack on gingerbread and get some\u00a0present shopping inspo. Only the finest markets make the cut, with each one judged on\u00a0its food, drink and gift shopping options (as well as overall Christmassy vibe).\u00a0<\/p>\n

But which market came out on top? Well, for 2025 it\u2019s a classic, sprawling London attraction that has been named the city\u2019s best Christmas market. That\u2019s right, it\u2019s Hyde Park\u2019s festive extravaganza Winter Wonderland<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What dates is Hyde Park Winter Wonderland open?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland returns<\/a> this coming\u00a0Friday, November 14<\/strong> and will bang on (just) into the New Year, closing on\u00a0January 1<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What are\u00a0the opening times?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The attraction runs from 10am to 10pm every day, with entry prices varying based on the time of day.<\/p>\n

Main attractions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winter Wonderland\u00a0boasts an absolutely massive ice rink<\/strong> (the largest in the UK, to be exact), which costs \u00a311-\u00a317 depending on the time of day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For families visiting the attraction, children have the option to play in Santa Land<\/strong>, or Santa\u2019s Grotto, one of the immersive sections the park decked out with presents. New for 2025 is Luminarie Lane<\/strong>, which has both a massive light installation and premium shopping options.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Adults can also sneak off to Bar Ice<\/strong> for a live DJ with drinks served in frozen ice glasses or watch Cirque Berserk<\/strong>, a circus show that performs multiple times each night. Entrance fees are \u00a317-18 and \u00a312.50-18 for each event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
