Cheer up your January! Read on for the hotlist of the best ice skating rinks in London and Surrey…

1 Hampton Court Palace Ice Rink – 17 November to 8 January

This lovely open-air ice rink offers you a chance to skate while admiring stunning views of the red-brick historic Tudor palace under a star-studded sky. A magical experience.

London’s newest addition to its spectacular ice rink offer, and the only one located riverside, Glide at the newly reopened Battersea Power Station features three interconnecting rinks surrounded by twinkling lights.

4 Somerset House – 16 November to 15 January

Another festive classic, the beautiful ice rink transforms the neoclassical courtyard into a must-visit winter destination, along with a majestic 40-foot Christmas tree decorated with specially designed Moet & Chandon ornaments for great photo opportunities.

The spectacular Grade II listed Ally Pally is located on the northern edge of the capital and is known for its yearly firework spectacle, as a venue for great gigs, and come winter, as a Mecca for skaters.
