Woolly hats, crisp frosty mornings, steaming cups of coffee… What do you love about winter? Winter is well under way here in London and at the Washington Mayfair Hotel we are excited to welcome guests to the hotel for 2023. January has got a bit of a reputation for being a quieter month to visit London which is why we would argue that it’s one of the best. With less queues at some of London’s top attractions and a little less of a crush on the tube! If you are happy to wrap up and brave the cooler weather, then the start of the year could be the best time to visit the capital.  

Every season offers something beautiful to see in the Royal Parks and winter is no exception. It may surprise you to know that London is actually home to over 5000 acres of quality green space… Not quite the concrete jungle some may imagine! There are many highlights of the parks that can only be discovered in winter like the frost-covered landscape with the grass crunching underfoot, the frozen transformation of the Sperpentine or even catching a glimpse of the first delicate green shoots emerging from their hibernation. So, take a detour from the busy metropolis and spend some time to enjoy what’s on offer, with self-guided tours available and winter warmer talks scheduled throughout the next few months. Whether you are visiting London for pleasure or business the Royal Parks can be enjoyed as a little break from London Life, plus it’s great for boosting physical and mental wellbeing! 

Let’s face it though, we don’t always want to be outside when it’s cold… Sometimes you just want to be appreciating the warm surroundings of a cosy café, or restaurant as you tuck into a culinary delight. London offers a huge selection of eateries to choose from for a variety of budgets. Some of which have transformed their roof terraces offering fireplaces, faux fur, creative cocktails and stunning views of London, so you can enjoy the outside but also keep warm – perfect! 

The Washington Hotel Mayfair is the best hotel to plan your next London trip. You will find everything you need to enjoy your stay to the full whether you are travelling for business or for leisure with a large selection of rooms and suites available to add a little luxury to your stay.
