The nights are starting to get darker as we plunge into the winter season. Here's our round up of the most beautiful and historical sites to take to the ice this winter. Get booking - we think EVERYONE will be rushing to bag a slot this festive season. London has never been busier !
Skate at Somerset House
Emily's very favourite rink returns once again to the beautiful neoclassical courtyard at Somerset House. Partnering with Virgin Adlantic this year there's a definite ski vibe. The pop-up Shelter Boutique stocking hand-picked pre-loved treasures returns once again. Head to the rink-side bar for a steaming hot choclate. 13 Nov-12 Jan. Book here
Battersea Power Station
Julia's favourite rink, GLIDE across three interconnecting rinks with the river on one side and the enormous power station on the other. Really pretty to skate here at night and the twinkling glass house serves lots of warming drinks. Great vintage funfair rides too. 8 Nov-5 Jan. Book here
Hampton Court Palace
There's no rink at the Tower of London this year but you can whizz across the ice right beside Henry VIII's historic Tudor palace in Hampton Court. Pop into the palace and marvel at Henry's Great Hall. Tickets on sale now, rink opens 22 Nov. Book here
