Winter Wonderland London 2020


I was told by people who went abroad in the past that if it were possible, I HAD to go to Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. Winter Wonderland is open for 6 weeks from November to early January, so I made it just in time.  My friends and I went on a Sunday night and everything was lit up with sparkling lights. Entry into winter wonderland was free and right when I walked through the gates I saw a huge array of attractions, holiday markets, food stands, restaurants, and bars. It was so huge and overwhelming my friends and I had been walking around for hours and probably only scratched the surface of what was there. Since it was a brisk January night, I wore black jeans, a black turtleneck, black Dr. Martens platform boots, a leopard print puffer coat, and accessorized with chunky jewelry. This kept me equally as warm as it did stylish. After first entering through the main gate we walked through for about ten minutes before stopping at our first food vendor. We started with churros filled with Nutella and caramel and they were absolutely insane! The best churros I have ever had. We then moved onto the street food which included bratwurst, fries, burgers and more. Very interesting combination of food, yes I know, but we shared everything and it was great to have a little taste of everything. We also all tried mulled wine for the first time and in my opinion, I did not love it. After being completely stuffed with food, we bought tickets to go on the rides and we went on the Ferris wheel and this machine that involved a lot of spinning (probably not one of my best ideas). Once we had our fill of fun on the rides we continues to walk around the little markets looking at all the holiday souvenirs that were being sold like clothing, jewelry, decorations etc.. Winter Wonderland is an ABSOLUTE must to go to and I was so happy we just made it in time before it closed for the season!
