The market was spread out, probably covering about half of the park I'd say, it felt huge anyway and the minute you step into Winter Wonderland, it's like there's no coming back out. Simply because of the holiday spirit, the lights, rides, atmosphere, food, everything. You feel like you're living in Christmas. Filled with rows, and rows and rows of little wooden huts, it's a german theme this year with quite a number of german BBQ and sausage stalls. All selling a slight variation of choices such as bratwurst, curry wurst, krakauer and other things which I can't recall. Food wise, you'd be spoilt for choice in the market. There's so many food stalls, every corner you turn you smell something amazing. Ostrich burgers, lots of waffle and crepe stalls, mulled wines, sausages, donuts, you could easily, easily eat your way round. 

My friend and I each had a bratwurst and krakauer at four pounds each. And though I'm usually not a big fan of ketchup or mustard, I thought I had to do it justice and eat it the right way with some curry ketchup and mustard. The krakauer's a polish pork sausage with bacon wrapped, it's absolutely, fucking, amazing. So amazing I wanted a second but couldn't retrace my steps back to the first stall I bought it from.  After that, we walked around quite a few stalls before deciding on some sweet dolce. Feeling slightly (too) greedy, I opted for a whole bag of four donuts for just three pounds. The first bite was heavenly, so was the second, but by the time I had eaten two donuts, I felt as stuffed as a foie gras. Greed - that's what it does to you. 

As you keep moving deeper into the centre of Winter Wonderland, there would be a massive tent with tons of disco lights beaming out from it and lots and lots of loud, music. In there are much more food stalls as well as beer (I believe it was bavaria beer) stalls. Just entering into the tent, that atmosphere was absolutely amazing. With the music, smell of food in the air and the people all around, it was great. I can imagine, if I did have a love for beer as much as I loved my mojitos, I'd be spending a good amount of time there. Really, every corner of that Winter Wonderland was amazing, filled with lights and music, everywhere you looked, it was wonderful with all the blinding neon lights. I didn't get to go on any of the rides because I'm not the biggest fan of them though it did seem like there was quite a good selection too. And as much as I love just the food, drinks, party tent and all, the rides and game stalls were the ones that really made the market all the more better. You can't deny that just seeing all those game stalls with the massive fluffy plush toys hanging from the ceiling and what not, you don't feel like a child all over again. If I wasn't living in poverty and strapped for cash, I wouldn't have mind spending a couple pounds at each stall. Even if I don't end up winning (which chances are, probably considering my awful skills), just the fun alone is worth it. Second shocker here but I don't think I've even ever properly tried out a game stall, apart from the cheap horrible ones at school fairs. But never at a theme park, and that's definitely going on my to-do-list. Next theme park, I'm heading to the game stall. Just something about it, I don't know if it's because I've watched too much Adventureland or if it's just because of the whole nostalgia feel but those game stalls, they just look. tempting, like the food all around. 

Anything christmasy, you'll find it in one of these little stalls. I've seen my fair share of candles, christmas ornaments, personalised gifts, decorations, and I don't know what they're called, but they're metal candle holders with intricately cut out designs on the surface so you'd see whatever it is, as the light from the candle shines through. Pretty amazing. Along the way as you walk through the market, there'd be odd little shops where you can sit inside, all warm and cozy, have a drink and just relax and socialise. It's great. 

But there it is, my first ever christmas market/Winter Wonderland in london and it definitely, definitely lived up to my expectations.
