    As Christmas approaches, many ice skating rinks in London start appearing for the season. Ice skating rinks are one of the most anticipated Christmas events in London.

    This year you can swish around a rooftop ice skating rink at Skylight, try the biggest ice skating rink of all at Winter Wonderland, the one with the impressive backdrop has to be Hampton Court Palace, our favourite  one has always been Somerset House… but you could also try London´s new ice skating rink, Glide at Battersea Power Station. You choose!

    Ice Skating Rinks in London

    These are the top ice skating rinks in London for this season. Happy skating!

    Winter Wonderland

    Winter Wonderland is a Christmas paradise located in Hyde Park, a Christmas fair with attractions for all the family as well as one of the best Christmas markets in London.

    There is also a circus, food stalls and numerous restaurants in traditional wooden cabins. And this is where we can find London´s biggest ice skating rink this Christmas. We love visiting Winter Wonderland in the afternoon, when all the twinkly lights have been switched on, as the Christmas atmosphere is truly unique. For 2022 you do have to book an entry ticket to get into Winter Wonderland, and we´d recommend buying tickets for the ice skating in advance too, through their website.

    Information about Winter Wonderland´s Ice Skating Rink:

    • Dates: 18 November 2022 – 2 January 2023. Open every day except Christmas Day.
    • Price: From £8.50.
    • Location: See map
    • Website: Winter Wonderland

    Christmas ice skating rink in London Winter WonderlandSomerset House

    Without a doubt, Somerset House´s ice skating rink is one of my favourites, the Christmas atmosphere created inside Somerset House square is not easily surpassed!

    With a huge Christmas tree, and Christmas carols in the background, the pop-up cafes and Christmas Events make it a highly recommended visit. Not often mentioned in travel guides, but definitely worth visiting if you´re going to spend a few days in London this Christmas.  that often goes unnoticed by many tourists.

    Ice Skating in London: Price and Timings

    • The price of admission to any ice skating rinks in London includes the rental of ice skating boots.
    • You can book and pay online in advance or at the door on the day, but tickets might be limited on the day.
    • In some cases, you will see that buying tickets online in advance can be a little cheaper.
    • In general, you will have about 45 minutes to skate and test your balance on the ice.
    • Most places ask you wear gloves for ice skating, so don´t forget them!

    Ice skating in London with kids

    Most ice rinks have a small area for kids and special support, normally in the shape of giant penguins to help them learn. These skating supports are also good for adults that have never been on the ice before and want a little bit of help! You normally have to pay extra for these, and my advise is to get in the queue quick as they tend to run out of them if there are many children around.

    More things to do in London at Christmas

    In addition to the ice skating rinks, don’t forget to visit the fantastic Christmas markets in London and see the spectacular Christmas lights.
