What kind of ice skater are you? There\u2019s the enthusiastic beginner who pulls themselves along by the handrail, secretly wishing they were young enough to ask for a penguin aid; the show-off who can\u2019t resist whizzing up and down the rink; and the genuine ice skater who knows their toe loop from their Lutz \u2013 and who we\u2019re infinitely jealous of.<\/p>\n

Regardless of your ice skating ability, trying your hand on an ice rink is a fun activity, and something the whole family can get involved in.<\/p>\n

London has no shortage of ice rinks. There\u2019s some which are open all year round like Alexandra Palace\u2019s Ice Rink and Streatham\u2019s Ice Centre<\/a>, and plenty which pop up at this time of the year, like Hyde Park\u2019s Winter Wonderland one and Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink. Plus, there\u2019s a new kid on the skating block this winter: Battersea Power Station.<\/p>\n
