BKC Marble Arch: Winter Wonderland’s magical journey & a culinary escape
The holiday magic of Winter Wonderland
When London is bundled up in the cold, nothing quite beats Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park to feel festive. This much loved event takes London’s West End to a magical land where fairy lights, music and laughter blend to make the experience as mesmerizing as possible between 21st November and 5th January. A mere 10-minute walk from BKC Marble Arch on 7 Edgware Road, W2 2ER, Winter Wonderland is the perfect destination for a festive adventure before or after a great meal at BKC.
- A Winter Wonderland experience like no other
Imagine entering Winter Wonderland, where there is joy and the smell of chestnuts. Start your journey on the UK’s largest outdoor ice rink and ride smoothly (or laughingly, maybe) around the magnificent Victorian bandstand, with thousands of fairy lights shining around it. Smell the wind on your cheeks as you take in spectacular views of the glittering London cityscape, its buildings glittering in the snowy winter evening.
- Adventures in the magical Ice Kingdom
Magical Ice Kingdom at Winter Wonderland – is quite an experience. Visit a frozen world where everything is carved out of ice and snow to a level where it’s like you have entered into a winter wonderland. The elaborate carvings are depictions of demons, palaces and fantasy characters made from more than 500 tonnes of ice. Visit sparkling ice tunnels and marvel at the gorgeous ice thrones and snow-covered sculptures that make this cold kingdom live. And it’s something that kids and adults will love to visit alike – making it a must-visit part of Winter Wonderland.
Wander through the Magical Ice Kingdom, where sculpted monuments and tunnels plunge you into a fairytale kingdom created from more than 500 tonnes of ice and snow. Imagine exploring an enchanted forest made entirely of ice and snow, where magical animals peek out from glistening corners, and each step you take leads you further into a world of snowy wonder. The tunnels of ice, thrones of glitter, and ice-carved characters are the magic of the place, both for children and for the imagination.
- Thrilling rides and festive fun
For the adrenaline junkies there are a lot of thrilling rides in Winter Wonderland which will leave you delighted. There is no lack of rollercoasters to make your blood rush from the slam-dunk of Munich Looping roller coaster to the airborne climax of Hangover Drop Tower. For thrill-seekers, there’s Wilde Maus XXL, with its curves and drops of course, and then there’s the haunted house which adds a little creepy twist to the holiday mood.
If a little more laid-back is your thing, the Giant Observation Wheel is a tranquil way to end your day with stunning views of London bathed in Christmas lights. You simply can’t get better views of the city than from above with Winter Wonderland’s glittering attractions offering the most stunning backdrop against the winter sky.
- Bavarian Village: A cozy respite
If you are in need of some time off, you can stop at the Bavarian Village to take it all in and get a little bit of holiday spirit. Embrace through the wooden chalets, listen to the live bands playing Christmas music and feel warm and joyous as that’s how the holiday season should be.
