Winter in London is like no other, from the twinkling lights to the crisp frost adding a touch of magic to the streets. Staying with Central Park Collection puts you right at the centre of all the action being located by Hyde Park, Paddington and Bayswater. Here’s how to make the most of your peaceful winter getaway.
A Winter Walk Through Hyde Park
There’s nothing like a winter stroll and Hyde Park is right on your doorstep. Wrap up, grab a coffee and explore the park’s quieter, off-season beauty. The Serpentine looks magical in the winter light and the Serpentine cafe offers stunning views with a large alfresco dining area providing the perfect location to drink and dine whilst watching the world go by.
Bayswater’s Winter Highlights
Bayswater is brimming with understated elegance and character. Wander through the streets where you’ll find striking Georgian townhouses and quaint garden squares. Discover wine bars, boutique shops, and cosy cafes that echo the area’s vibrant character.
Paddington’s Cosy Corners
Paddington isn’t just about the station (although Paddington Bear fans will want to stop by his famous statue). This area is full of charming, tucked-away spots perfect for winter days. Take a walk along the canals of Little Venice. Warm up afterwards in one of Paddington’s independent cafes or bakeries—ideal for a hot chocolate or a slice of cake.
Food, Shopping & Relaxation
You’re spoilt for choice with Bayswater or Paddington on your doorstep when it comes to food. From Middle Eastern dishes and cosy British gastropubs to choose from you won’t be disappointed. Once you’ve satisfied your appetite, wander down Queensway for a shopping fix or browse Church Street Market for those hidden vintage gems.
In winter, these areas are the perfect mix of activity and relaxation. Sure, Hyde Park and Paddington are famous for their greenery, but they’re also right by some of London’s best shopping spots.
