Top 5 Ice Skating Rinks in London
Winter wouldn’t be winter without at least one visit to an ice-skating rink. Those of you who live and work in London are spoilt for choice, with a selection of excellent options on your doorstep. Whether you want to take in some famous landmarks, enjoy luxury food alongside your skating session or immerse yourself in the festive experience, London has the perfect ice rink for you. Here are 5 of the best; which one will you choose?
We’ll launch in feet first and go straight to the one with the full festive experience. Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park is the place to be for all things Christmas. From the ice rink to a circus, giant wheel, Magical Ice Kingdom and Christmas market, this event has absolutely everything you could wish for. Booking is not essential but is highly recommended due to the popularity of the various events.
Now one for the foodies. If you choose Somerset House as your ice skating venue of choice for Christmas 2014, not only will you get to enjoy some fantastic skating, you’ll also have easy access to all manner of edible delights from Fortnum & Mason. Make a party of it at one of the Club Nights, or just relax après-skate with a cocktail, fondue or a Cream Tea. Advance booking is essential.
Natural History Museum Ice Rink
This is another firm favourite amongst skaters in London. It may not be quite as extravagant as a champagne tea from Fortnum or Mason, or as gloriously over the top as Winter Wonderland, but the Natural History Museum’s ice rink is equally fabulous. We love that there’s a separate rink for beginners – not because we want to show off, but because we definitely need all the help we can get!
Frostival offers a range of packages and experiences to visitors. From a 45 minute skate with hire included or a skate and London Eye combination, to a Winter Cocktail or Champagne Experience, there’s something in store for everyone. The Frosty Guided Experiences look particularly appealing, with its frosty decorations, Christmas sound effects and twinkling lights.
Canary Wharf’s ice rink has a great skating path, which guides skaters around the sights of the outdoor area. Skate under the fairy light-adorned trees before returning to the main rink to enjoy the rest of your hour-long session. Once you’ve finished on the ice (or before you start!), make sure to pop along to the Christmas market for some bratwurst, mulled wine, gingerbread and much more.
