"After a hectic summer, we're looking forward to cosy evenings in pubs with fireplaces, curling up at home in our PJs, and pretending we are far too sophisticated to sip on anything that comes in a pumpkin spice flavour. Winter also means the return of ice skating in London. And while the city has lost a few legends in recent years (RIP the Natural History Museum ice rink), it's more than made up for it with new additions. And they keep on comin'."
"The new outdoor rink, created by Underbelly, will open in London's West End in time for cosy SZN, with the first skaters taking to the ice on November 1. It will remain open until Sunday, January 4 2026. Sessions will begin every 15 minutes and cost £14.50 for adults and £9.50 for children, with online bookings and availability for walk-ins."
"The rink will encircle Leicester Square's Shakespeare statue, which is at the centre of the plaza. Let's hope they dress the Bard up in a Santa hat. As well as the frozen rink, the attraction will have festive lights, music and activities for all ages. There will also be a Christmas pop-up market, selling various winter warmer food and drink options and seasonal gifts."
