Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park

Hyde Park Corner on the Picadilly Line, 1 minute away, leads you to Hyde Park where Winter Wonderland is taking place. According to my german flatmate, the winter festival is actually a german tradition, so there are tons of crazy germans and german signs. 


It's impossible not to feel festive once we stepped into the Winter Wonderland, it feels all lovely and warm and fuzzy, even though it was quite a cold autumn-winter night. The whole area is actually really big.


There were tons of stalls - food, games, pubs, games, haunted houses. Here is me with a large reindeer.


A bar on a carousel that spins around slowly - absolutely lovely, can't wait to go with someone who will get a drink with me. Who's up.


There were so many rides, all with people yapping and screaming away. This one was spewing snow too as a bonus. 


The ice skating rink is clearly sponsored by Samsung, and though no skaters were allowed yet, it looked gorgeous with the fairy lights reflected in streaks on the ice. 


Crazy german words and signs everywhere. It feels like... Disneyland. With the ferris wheel in the background and people drinking mulled wine everywhere it's an understatement to say it feels magical.
