Walking in a Winter Wonderland

On Friday 21st November, begins again Winter Wonderland, one of the main attractions in London. The Christmas market will be open from 10 am to 10 pm every day, except on Christmas Day, until the 4th of January. 

Hyde Park will become the perfect entertainment for the entire family. Ice skating, shopping, the Bar Ice, Santa Land, the Magical Ice Kingdom, amazing attractions... Everything is ready to embrace Christmas.

But Winter Wonderland is not the only Christmas market in the capital. A new festive treat will be taking place in Victoria Park from the 2nd until the 31st of December. Winterville will have an ice skating rink, the House of Fairy Tales, food, drink, pantomimes, a roller disco and much more.

And of course, you can't miss the traditional Southbank Centre Christmas Market. It is the best option to enjoy a succulent mince pie and a mulled wine while you are delighted with an incredible view.

What are you waiting for? Wrap up warm and enjoy Christmas

London Ice Sculpting Festival


What can you do on a cold day in London? From Friday 10th until Sunday 12th January, lots of Londoners discovered the amazing things that can be done with a block of ice in The London Ice Sculpting Festival, placed in Canary Wharf.

10 teams and 20 ice sculptors from Africa, Belgium, France, Hungary, Ireland, Poland, Spain, Sweden, UK and USA competed in 3 different fields:

Freestyle, in which the artists made their free choice of design. The themes "River Life" for the Singles competition and "Fabulous Fashion" for the Doubles.

But the festival was, as well, a perfect occasion to know about the ice's art. There were free master classes to learn how to sculpt polar bears.
