London ice rinks

[Dancergirl]

I want to book for dd to go ice skating with some friends over the holidays.

I tried Somerset House but they are booked on the day we want to do.

Can anyone recommend somewhere?

Whoops, sorry this was meant for chat! Can it be moved?

I can't recommend one but there are a few out there.

There's a rink at the Tower of London which is a lovely setting - but it seemed very expensive to me. Having said that, I shouldn't imagine that it'd cost any more than Somerset House would have done.

I went to the Natural History Museum rink last yr - was lovely, v beautiful.

Yes I thought about the Natural History museum.

Think there is also one near the London Eye...?

There's one at canary wharf

There on in winter wonder land not sure id recommend

Yes, the London Eye (Eyeskate) is great in terms of the location/setting + it's beautiful (lit up etc) but it didn't look that big to me.

When I went to the NHM, they actually had 2 rinks, one was used by v small children and real beginners and the other for everyone else. It made it much more bearable.

My grown-up DD and her friends from her skating circle went to The Icerink at Canary Wharf as many of the others were booked up well in advance.

They had a really wonderful time. The ice there is supposed to be very good and it has a 'lantern-lit walkway' to skate along which leaves the main rink and doubles back to it. They would recommend it and in fact are planning to go back.

I love the Broadgate one : www.broadgate.co.uk/ice

They're everywhere in London now!
