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

HippopoThames at St Katharine Docks

At the beginning of September, coinciding with the launching of the inaugural Totally Thames season, HippopoThames, the 21 metre wooden river horse sculpture, arrived at South Bank. From there, and during 28 days, he was anchored at the Battersea Power Station.

Now, the Hippo has decided to swim down and sail the Thames. St Katharine Docks will be his home from the 29th of September until the 3rd of November.

The artist, Florentijn Hofman, is well known for his large works. One of his most important sculptures, a 26 metre high inflatable yellow rubber duck, has been travelling around the Globe since 2007.

And thanks to this Dutch artist and his friendly pet, not only we had fun but we also learnt that hippos inhabited these waters a long time ago.
