    The Christmas Markets in London are one of the biggest attractions during these important dates in the British capital. If you are planning on spending a few days in London this Christmas, you definitely need to include at least one – although we would say visit all of them if you can! – in your plans.

    We don´t really need to tell you what you´ll find in a Christmas Market in London – obviously anything you can think of that is related to Christmas. Christmas carols playing in the background most of the time, we can stroll along choosing gifts, candles, Christmas decorations…There are always food stalls and hot drinks, so it´s the perfect pit stop if you´re anything like me and want to make the most of your time when visiting somewhere!

    The Best Christmas Markets in London

    London is famous for its´ fabulous markets. Even though London´s all-year-round markets will also be offering special Christmas gifts and ambience, several special Christmas Markets pop up around London during the winter months to celebrate this time of the year.

    Winter Wonderland

    Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is one of the most anticipated Christmas markets in London at this time of year. If you don´t already know, I must tell you that it is not just a Christmas market, but it is the largest Christmas fair in London, with attractions for all ages and numerous food and drink stalls, including cafes and cocktail bars… There is also an ice skating rink and a circus, as well as other family attractions. Millions of people visit every year, and I have to say that in my opinion it is a must-see if you are visiting London during the Christmas period. It does get packed though, so I´d recommend visiting in the afternoon during the week if possible!

    • Dates: 18 November 2022 – 2 January 2023.
    • Opening times: 10 am to 10 pm. Closed on Christmas Day.
    • Important for 2022: Tickets to be booked in advance.
