ice rinks in london

i'm really bad at ice skating but i thought it would be a fun thing to do when i get some money lol

just wondered where there was some ice rinks in london, i know that there's one at the o2, hyde park and somerset house but are there a couple more?

Hampton Court...?

There's indoor ones at Streatham (though I wouldn't go there if yo upaid me) and one in Guildford. not quite London, but is a train ride from Waterloo and is nice there.

i'm such an idiot, there's a section on the homepage about ice rinks lol

silly me, i'm gonna go have a look now

Skating is fun, well at least for those pips who saw me landing on my face at South Kensington's ice-rink!!!

:laugh:

I went to the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland last week, and did the ice skating. Was my partner's first time and he fell over within 3 minutes. He fell over another 3 times after that. Hurt his wrist though from landing in it all the time so he had to get off the ice :( He enjoyed it though :)

I like ice skating, but I think they cram too many people on the ice. You are just constsntly stuck behind groups of people with flailing limbs ready to take you down at any moment. I just wanna skate.

I know what you mean.
I am a hopeless skater myself though, I fall over all the time!!!

Found out there's one at Kew Gardens

i've been once when i was about 5 lol and i didn't like it but that was ages ago but i'm still scared of falling over lol

just thought it would be a fun thing to do with friends to get in the christmas spirit.

i'd like to go during the evening about 7 or 8 think it would be quite cool (or dangerous) to do it in the dark

It is cool skating outdoors at night. Very pretty. cause I like lights and things. I should go to Las Vegas and just stare at the lights.

I first went when I was about 7 and these boyes had made this small pile of ice and I tripped on it and went skidding across the ice in my belly and my top lifted and I had a massive graze all over my belly Have only been a few times since then but haven't fallen over since either :D the fear of falling makes me have good balance. Same as when I've done canoeing. Scared of capsizing so I don't do it. Simple! lol

My favourite is the Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park. There are loads open this year, check on the following website.
