Ice rink at The Tower of London – Lizzie S

It's time to pull out your woolies, strap on those boots, and take to the ice. Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without an erratic dance or spectacular tumble. So, head down to one of London's ice rinks and let out your inner Torvill and Dean. It's your time to shine!

Somerset House Trust 50 reviews Strand  South Building, London  Ice Rinks “Everyone should visit Somerset House at least once every Christmas! If you have friends that get grumpy about Christmas starting too early or being too OTT then take them here and it will cheer up the grinchiest of Grinches.”  Zoe G., London

Tower of London Ice Rink 12 reviews Aldgate  The Tower of London, London  Ice Rinks, Local Flavour “Stunning views and a fun way to spend an evening with friends. We went on a warm November evening after it had rained for much of the afternoon, so the ice was wetter than was ideal. Even with that, it was still super fun!”  Renee G., London

Broadgate Ice Rink 4 reviews Liverpool Street / Broadgate  Broadgate Circle, London  Ice Rinks “Popped into this pretty ice rink on Wednesday... The place is quite magical with a fairy light entrance pathway, and worker bees inside are very nice people indeed, and super helpful! ... The ice rink is smaller than I am used to but just as fun!”  Ela T., London

Winter Wonderland 83 reviews Hyde Park  Hyde Park, London  Theme Parks, Christmas Markets “It's time to get to the Christmas spirit people, and the perfect place to kick of the merry season is at Hyde Park! ... There are... a few special attractions... the magical ice kingdom, circus, and an ice skating rink.”  Essi S., London

Ice Rink Canary Wharf 10 reviews Canary Wharf  Canada Square Park, London  Ice Rinks “I thought anything in Canary Wharf would be unreasonably expensive. I was wrong... I'd totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to skate. Great place to take your partner for a date. Just make sure that you get back in one piece.”  Eakan G., London

It's Film O'Clock!

Electric Cinema – Onur Y

Everyone loves the escapism of a good film, so this week we're going on location in London town to get you lost on the set of some great stories. Take the afternoon and take a wander to these scenic spots. Popcorn, anyone?

Genesis Cinema 52 reviews Stepney  93-95 Mile End Road, London  Cinemas “I was really pleasantly surprised! Cosy cinema, a beautiful setting with galleries and a bar and good food to grab... We grabbed cocktails on the bar before heading to watch Jurassic World.”  Hannah M., London

Electric Cinema 83 reviews Notting Hill  191 Portobello Road, London  Cinemas “Wow, what an amazing unique cinema... rows of leather armchairs with footstools and side tables, that are so comfortable to sit at. At the back of the cinema are two-seater sofas and on the front row double beds... One incredible night/early morning!”  Mei S., London

Prince Charles Cinema 154 reviews Chinatown  7 Leicester Place, London  Cinemas “Undoubtedly amongst the best in London. It's less about current blockbusters, but more about independent films and foreign films and docs too. They have tons of special screenings and actively ask members for their advice on social media... a true gem.”  Daniel F., London

Rio Cinema 33 reviews De Beauvoir  107 Kingsland High Street, London  Cinemas “Happy birthday to the Rio, which just turned 100. It was remodeled in the 30s and architecturally is an Art Deco classic with a lovely two-tier exterior — sit in the balcony for a bird's eye view, but not on a warm day as it gets very hot up there.”  Helena S., London

Roxy Bar & Screen 28 reviews Borough  128-132 Borough High Street, London  Bars, Cinemas, British Restaurants “This place is so much fun! For £12 you can see a movie and have dinner brought to you. Finally meant I got to see Dirty Dancing on the big screen... The staff are really friendly and accommodating... Would definitely go again!”  Hannah B., London
