London’s Winter Wonderland is an annual festive attraction held in Hyde Park, opening this year on November 21 and running until January 5. While it used to be free to enter, this year visitors will need to purchase timed tickets during peak times and for certain activities. The attraction is open daily from 10am to 10pm, with last entry at 9.30pm, except on Christmas Day. It is easily accessible by public transportation, with multiple Underground stations and bus routes nearby. For those driving in, the Q-Park at Park Lane and Marble Arch is recommended for parking.
Ticket prices for Winter Wonderland vary depending on the time and day of your visit. Off-peak tickets are free and valid between 10am and 1pm, Monday to Thursday, but still need to be booked in advance. Peak time tickets are £7.50 each and are required for visits from 1pm onwards every day, as well as all day Friday to Sunday.
