The 8 years old adored wizzing around with my hand, whilst the 5 years old was in great company with a penguin and mostly his father. The music is fun and Queens House Ice Rink size is perfect and far from South Kensington or West end touristy crowds, even Saturday midday slots !

Surrounded by England’s finest piece of seventeenth-century Palladian architecture and by gorgeous Greenwich Park, we found in here some of the best views in London. For a great cultural outing combine it with Queens House, Maritime Museum or Cutty Sark, our kids love them all.

The only outdoor ice rink in South London, Greenwich Ice Rink is open every day (apart from Christmas Day) until January 9th 2022. Sessions run from 10am-9pm on peak days and 11am-9pm off peak and last for 45 minutes, we found the session going in a blink!
