When the Christmas season arrives, there’s no better time to enjoy the sparkle of London. From late November right through to the New Year, the city comes alive with festive markets, dazzling light displays, and family-friendly shows. At The Comet Hotel London Hatfield, we give you the best of both worlds: easy access to all of London’s holiday magic, paired with the comfort, calm, and value of staying just outside the capital.
Our Art Deco-inspired hotel is designed with modern style and plenty of little touches to make your stay relaxed and stress-free. Guests love our spacious rooms, friendly team, free Wi-Fi, and the convenience of on-site parking—a rare perk compared with central London. And with Hatfield Station just minutes away, you can hop on a train and be at King’s Cross in just over 20 minutes. That means less time commuting and more time soaking up the festive spirit.
What Awaits You in London
The season wouldn’t be complete without a trip to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland. Open from mid-November to early January, it’s a magical mix of Christmas markets, circus shows, fairground rides, and Europe’s largest outdoor ice rink. It’s the perfect place to sip mulled wine, browse for gifts, or enjoy an evening out with friends or family. Be sure to book ahead—it’s always a popular choice.
For something a little different, head to Christmas at Kew, where the famous botanical gardens are transformed into a glittering wonderland. From 14 November through 4 January, a two-mile light trail leads you past glowing fountains, sparkling installations, and cosy food stalls. It’s a breathtaking experience for all ages, and one you’ll remember long after the lights dim.
Of course, simply wandering through the city is an event in itself. Oxford Street, Regent Street, and Covent Garden all shine with festive lights, while ice rinks and Christmas markets pop up across town. Add to that London’s rich line-up of seasonal theatre—think The Nutcracker, Elf the Musical, or A Christmas Carol—and you’ll never run out of ways to celebrate. And for something closer to us, don’t miss Hogwarts in the Snow at Warner Bros. Studios, just a short drive from Hatfield.
