Natural History Museum Ice Rink

Embrace the arrival of winter at one of London's most beloved and enchanting outdoor attractions: the Natural History Museum Ice Rink.

A regular feature of the capital's winter calendar, the rink is based in the grounds of the museum in South Kensington, just to the west of the city centre.

Whether you're a total novice or a Winter Olympics hopeful, you'll gliding around the ice while taking in the panoramic backdrop formed by historic buildings and fairy lights twinkling in the branches of grand old trees.

Along with the main rink, there's a viewing deck, carousel and stylish cafe, which is open to all visitors including non-skaters.

The rink is open from 22 October 2021 until 16 January 2022 and is closed on Christmas Day.
