Unfortunately, it’s popularity can also be it’s downfall so be prepared to share the rink with plenty of others and it’s perhaps wise to pre-book & take the hit on the ticketmaster booking fee. You can avoid this booking fee if you can purchase tickets directly from Somerset House but don’t expect to get directly onto the ice especially during the school holidays & other peak times.
Chilly Penguin Sessions at the Eden Project Ice Rink
Check out these Chilly Penguins that offer stability to children as they take to the Ice Rink. Whilst these penguins are available at many Ice Rinks around the country, we particularly like the Chilly Penguin sessions that run on Sundays at the Eden Project from 10.45-11.45am. You may also want to check out the parent & toddler ice play sessions they also run complete with toys & diggers…great thinking! See our free ticket giveaway for the Eden Project below.
You can even pick up a free ice skating session for you & your family/friends if you take part in the lantern procession. More details available at Ice Skate for Free at the Eden Project.
Most Impressive Ice Skating Backdrop; Ice at the Towers
If you like to glide in style, then try the Tower of London Ice Rink. Set down in the dry moat, this ice rink offers you a spectacular view of the Tower of London that becomes even more impressive when lit up at night. A must for any first time visitors to London. With peak & off peak times, it is again wise to book in advance and take advantage of family & concessionary rates.

Combining Culture & Fun; Natural History Museum Ice Rink.
With the Natural History Museum as the backdrop for this ice rink, you have the chance to combine learning & laughter in one afternoon. We loved the cafe bar & balcony situated rink side with a great range of festive treats from Mulled Wine, Viennese coffees & fun pots of nibbles. Remember entrance to the Natural History Museum is free too!
