Get your skates on at Broadgate Ice this winter
Broadgate Ice now open to the public
London’s only “turn up and skate” outdoor ice rink, Broadgate Ice, is now open to the public. Situated in the Broadgate Circle, the stunning open air rink, now in its 26th year is open until February 2012.
Close to the historic Spitalfields Market as well as Brick Lane, Broadgate Ice is situated next to Liverpool Street Station and served by the London Underground (Central, Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith and City Lines) as well as mainline trains.
With no need to pre book, sessions are available on a first come, first served basis and run three times daily (12:00-2:30, 3:30-5:30 and 6:00 – 8:00pm*). On Fridays, the rink opens from 6:30 – 9:00 allowing skaters to enjoy the ice well into the evening.
Perfect for a romantic date, or simply a spontaneous trip with friends and family, why not experience the crisp tingle of winter air and take in the surroundings at London’s very first outdoor ice rink? There are also a number of bars, restaurants and sandwich shops for skaters looking for refreshment and comfort after they come off the ice.
Skating lessons are also available for skaters of all ability levels with two fully qualified resident ice coaches from just £10 per 15 minutes. Broadgate Ice is also available for private hire, giving guests exclusive use of the Broadgate Ice Rink, Monday – Thursday from 6pm onwards.
