30 November 2021
When it comes to Christmas, embracing the frosty weather, throwing on some skates and jumping on an ice rink is unmissable. Paired with a warm cup of mulled wine, twinkling fairy lights and a dose of Mariah Carey, it doesn’t get more festive than that. If you’re worried about injuring yourself, don’t be as most ice rinks should have a staff member certified in first-aid that’ll react in emergency situations. Here are the best five ice rinks in London that you simply can’t miss out on!
Natural History Museum Ice Rink
Searching for the perfect day out to one of London’s most iconic landmarks? Look no further as the Natural History Museum Ice Rink, located along South Kensington’s tree-lined streets. You’ll want to get there while you still can, as after 16 years of fun this is the last chance to skate in this idyllic setting. This beautiful scene is one of London’s most picturesque rinks and it warmly welcomes all ages and abilities.
Skate at Somerset House with Moët & Chandon
Make magical memories with your loved ones this festive season by skating at Somerset House. Transformed into the ultimate winter destination and hailed as one of the capital’s favourite festive outings, this is one not to be missed! With rink-side DJ takeovers, tasty chocolate workshops and irresistible winter food they’ve really got something for the whole family to enjoy.
Set under a picturesque canopy of twinkly lights, is perfect place for a winter skate located in Hyde Park’s famous Winter Wonderland. Alongside skating, there really is something for everyone with an eclectic range of activities to choose from including Christmas markets, an ice bar, street food, funfair rides, Santa land and so much more.
What better way to start the day with a serene morning skate set at London’s iconic Canary Wharf. Open from 10am to 10pm any time of the day is a good time for a skate. The rink side bar offers a perfect rest spot or a good place to watch the action with your feet firmly on the floor.
You can enjoy an enthusiastic skating session all year round at the popular Alexandra Palace Ice Rink but with the addition of Christmas music and twinkling lights this rink creates the full festive experience. Families can also book tickets for the Christmas pantomime on ice based on Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker, an amazing Christmas treat for all to enjoy.
