Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink
Hampton Court Palace, Molesey East Molesey, Surrey, KT8 9AU📅 23 Nov - 6 Jan 2020; tickets from £10.50
Is there a better backdrop to skate to? Hampton Court Palace is a major favourite for anyone - not just those who live in the area. And it might have something to do with its historic setting and stunning backdrop.
Prepare to be swept away this year with their 1040m² ice rink, which is now open to the public up until January.
After working up an appetite, why not head over to Rink Cafe & Bar and check out their new winter menu?

Somerset House
📅 14 Nov - 13 Jan 2020; tickets from £11
Somerset House has a lot going on this festive period. They have Late Skate evenings on offer for you to enjoy a skate after dark to music and are also hosting a New Year's Eve skate, where you can skate into the new year! Somerset House is truly something special this time of year and it's one of my favourite places to skate.

Tower of London
St Katharine's & Wapping, City of London, EC3N 4AB📅 23 Nov - 6 Jan 2020; tickets from £10.50
London's most famous castle gets festive! And you're invited to join on the fun. The Tower of London makes for the perfect backdrop to skate too, and if I could choose one landmark to skate behind, it would be this one. Rich with history, in my opinion, there's no better place to skate.
