Each winter, London’s Hyde Park is transformed into a massive temporary theme park aptly titled Winter Wonderland. This theme park includes an ice-rink, Christmas markets, rides and fun-house type experiences, and lots and lots of mulled wine stations in a very festive atmosphere. Click on any image to make it larger.
The big surprise of the evening was this old Carousel ride turned into a very cool revolving bar.
This post is for Jake Sprinter’s Sunday Post: Christmas, as well as Ailsa’s Travel Theme: Festive and the Weekly Photo Challenge: Surprise. Hop along to each of these gracious hosts to join in the fun.
And have a very Merry Christmas!

We went a couple times this year and loved it. My favorite part is the mulled wine 😉
That is also my favourite part TBM! It’s convenient that there are so many mulled wine stations around the park 🙂
