London in winter
Compare London’s outdoor winter fair with the indoor options still awaiting their new-season announcements.
Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is confirmed for 2026/2027. Winter Funland currently promotes Birmingham; a London 2026 return has not been verified. Do not apply the Birmingham dates to Olympia. Do not mistake an indoor show or studio tour for an all-inclusive fair.
Compare the total for your group, including entry, the rides you actually want, food and travel. An entry-only ticket is rarely the same as unlimited activities.
A full-scale festive fair with rides, food, ice attractions and skating. Choose this for a lively outing with several activities in one place.
Build your day around one or two paid attractions, then leave room to wander. Outdoor queues can feel cold; bring layers even if part of your visit is under cover.

A London return of this indoor fair has not been confirmed. The organiser currently promotes its Birmingham NEC season; those dates do not apply to Olympia or London.
It could be a useful rainy-day option if a new season is confirmed. Do not build a paid travel plan around the old listing.
