Skate at the Tower of London

At this time of year, many ice rinks pop up around London, and one that is certainly rather picturesque is the Tower of London Ice Rink, skating against the backdrop of the historic battlements of the Tower itself.


The rink has been set up in the former moat of the Tower, and uses real ice, unlike some of those other fake-ice rinks you can find. It isn't cheap, though, with a skating session setting you back between ten and twelve pounds. It is, however, a fantastic setting.

The rink is open 10am until 10pm, until 10th January 2011. For more information see http://www.toweroflondonicerink.com/
