Broadgate Ice Rink
Until Sun Mar 7, Broadgate Circle
A small, circular outdoor ice rink tucked away behind Liverpool Street station. The rink is available for private hire on Monday to Thursday evenings (£450 + VAT per hour), and private or group lessons are available at an extra cost. Broomball teams also use the rink. Note that Broadgate Ice Rink reserves the right to cancel or change any session time without prior notice - this also applies to the opening date as it is dependent on the weather being cold enough for the rink to be built. You have been warned! Read more

Canary Wharf Ice Rink
Critics' Choice
Until Sun Feb 21, Canada Square Park
In a spot surrounded by vertiginous towers, skaters can glide serenely across the ice, down a dram in the rinkside Moose Bar or just watch the action from the viewing gallery. The rink is located next to the new Park Pavilion which houses bars and restaurants. Group skating lessons are available for those unsteady on their blades. Read more

I know for sure Winterwonderland at Hyde park is not on, as for Somerset house not too sure
hi does anyone know if the skating rink at somerset house and the winterwonderland at hyde park are still open for the feb half term week.........cheers
ok....
What is wrong with this country. Everywhere else I have lived it has been run by the local council and it is free if you have your own skates. Here you have to book with TicketMaster, you only have an hour and it costs a fortune. That is nuts.
Btw I am British born and bred. I repeat, what is wrong with this country?!
I think the Wembley rink has been cancelled
What happened to the Greenwich Ice rink? Is it not on this year and if not - why not?
