Tower of London Ice Skating

With one of the most impressive backdrops and simplest pricing systmes, the Tower of London skating rink has it all. With an even bigger rink this year, the moat is the perfect place for a romantic glide across the ice, with ravens watching from above and children clutching penguins surrounding you. Sessions last 45 minutes and skate rental is included – they suggest you arrive 30 minutes early to make sure you’re fitted and ready to go when your time slot starts.

Prices are fixed throughout the season with an adult ticket costing £14.50 and children under 12 costing £10.50. For those aged 12-15, OAPs, those on Jobseeker’s allowance and students the ticket price is £12.50. Family tickets are available for £46 (two adults, two children) or £43 (one adult, three children). Please note there is a 95p booking fee per ticket.
