From mid-November to January, a huge area near Hyde Park Corner transforms into a fairy-tale land, complete with traditional fairground rides, a giant observation wheel, a circus and – of course – Santa’s Grotto. Check out the nearest hotels to Hyde Park below and book your Christmas break with us!
