Getting to Winter Wonderland from Mitre House

Hyde Park Winter Wonderland takes place inside Hyde Park, with different entrance gates depending on where you are heading within the event.
For guests staying at Mitre House Hotel, the most useful entrance is usually the Gold Gate, which Winter Wonderland lists as the gate closest to Paddington and Marble Arch. This gate is also nearest to areas such as Arctic Circle and Luminarie Lane.
From the hotel, you can walk towards Hyde Park via the Paddington and Lancaster Gate area. Journey times will vary depending on the entrance gate, crowds and event layout, but staying nearby means you can usually avoid relying on multiple trains or late-night transfers.
We recommend checking your Winter Wonderland ticket, arrival slot and gate information before setting off.

Useful Tips for Visiting Winter Wonderland

Winter Wonderland is brilliant, but it is also big, busy and very London. A little planning helps.
Before you go:
Pre-book your Winter Wonderland entry ticket and arrival time
Check which entrance gate is best for your planned attractions
Travel light, as large bags and luggage are not suitable for the event
Leave extra time during peak evenings and weekends
Dress warmly, especially if you are visiting the ice rink, ice bar or outdoor attractions

Book your hotel early for December weekends, Christmas shopping trips and school holiday dates
After your visit, you can return to Mitre House Hotel for a quieter night near Paddington, rather than tackling a long journey across London.
