Britain’s seasonal ice rinks welcome everyone from experts to absolute beginners and those with two left feet and a fear of the cold. Here are 4 of the most beautifully located in London, from November 2012 to January 2013.
Skate in the shadow of the show-stopping Victorian Natural History Museum in London’s Kensington, one of the capital’s most elegant districts. If you’re not keen on skating, lounge on the viewing platform with a mulled wine or warming hot chocolate. Afterwards, don’t miss a visit to this huge museum celebrating the natural world with dinosaurs, interactive exhibits and more.
Get your skates on and head to London and one of Britain’s most famous icons. Skate beneath the ramparts, towers and battlements of this spectacular Norman fortress, home of the crown jewels, historic arms and armour and nearly 1,000 years of British history.

One of the most beautiful skating backdrops in Britain, Somerset House is the neoclassical arts venue sitting between the Thames and the Strand in London. This year you can enjoy spiced mulled wine in the cool and cosy Tom’s Skate Lounge, lunchtime workouts and even winter-themed club nights.
Winter Wonderland, Hyde Park
Weekends at Winter Wonderland are very busy. During peak times we may have to control the crowd flow, putting in place a staged entry procedure. Ticket-holders for the pre-bookable attractions will be fast-tracked through the gates. For families with young children and those who prefer a more relaxed experience of Winter Wonderland, come along in the mornings and during the week. We open at 10am daily.
