Skate the winter blues away at the Canary Wharf Ice Rink

London weekend break

Event: Canary Wharf Ice Rink
Dates: November 13th to February 20th
Venue: Canary Wharf

Visitors to the capital may like to skate their winter blues away at the outdoor Canary Wharf Ice Rink.

This is the sixth year that an ice rink has been set up in Canada Park, which is surrounded by the towers of Canary Wharf, and could be ideal for those on a London weekend break to spend an afternoon.

Families may like to take to the ice on new and improved high-quality skates and even if they do not want to venture onto the rink they can watch their loved ones from the gallery.

The rink is 30m by 24m and it has gained a reputation for being the best outdoor rink in the city.

Those on a London weekend break could also visit the Alpine Bar where hot food, mulled wine, beer and warming drinks will be served.

Holidaymakers in the capital may also like to explore some of the 200 shops in the surrounding area as they will be selling the latest winter fashions.

After a day skating the blues away at the Canary Wharf Ice Rink, visitors can warm up in front of a cosy fire at the five star Langham hotel, London.
