This festive season, Londoners can embark on a global winter tour without leaving the city, thanks to a new and ambitious pop-up attraction in Finsbury Square.
A World of Winter in the Square Mile
While alpine lodges have become a staple of London's Christmas scene, Winters of the World elevates the concept by transporting visitors to five distinct winter destinations in a single evening. The attraction, located in the heart of the Square Mile, offers a refreshing alternative to the ubiquitous ski lodge.
The experience recreates the snow-dusted charm of locations across the globe. Guests can wander through lantern-lit streets inspired by Japan's snow culture, explore cabins from the French Alps and Switzerland, and immerse themselves in the festive atmospheres of Bavaria and North America.
Feasts, Games, and Late-Night Entertainment
The journey is complemented by a culinary tour, with seasonal food and drink celebrating the unique flavours of each destination. After exploring, visitors can relax in cosy, wintery nooks before partaking in the entertainment on offer.
The event features competitive team-based curling, retro video games, and a lineup of live music. As the night progresses, the energy shifts to late-night entertainment provided by DJs and magicians, ensuring the party continues.
Practical Details and Booking Information
Winters of the World is the brainchild of Chris Scriven and Will Goy, the team behind the popular summer Bowls Club pop-up held in the same location. The pop-up offers different packages to suit various groups.
Corporate Christmas packages are available, alongside weekend experiences tailored for families and friends. The packages, named after famous mountains like Rushmore and Fuji, start from £110 per person. This price includes food, drink, and access to the curling lanes.
The pop-up is a temporary fixture, running only until 12 December. For those seeking a unique way to celebrate the season, more information and bookings can be found at wintersoftheworld.com.
