Ah, Victoria. It’s a major hub for trains and buses, but it’s a 17-minute walk at best. That’s a lot of steps in questionable weather. Unless you enjoy power-walking through drizzle while dodging puddles, skip it. Save your energy for the giant fun slide.
If you do end up at Victoria, grab a coffee first. You’ll need the caffeine boost for the hike. Also, the station has a lovely Christmas market inside, so you can do a mini pre-Wonderland warm-up.

The Tube Etiquette Checklist
Before you go, remember these three sacred rules: Stand on the right on the escalator, don’t block the doors while you check your phone, and under no circumstances bring a giant shopping bag that clobbers people. You’re not a human pinball.
Also, buy an Oyster card or use contactless. The ticket machines at Hyde Park Corner have a tendency to develop a mind of their own during peak hours. They’ll eat your £5 note and laugh.
