Each winter, the neoclassical courtyard of Somerset House transforms into London’s most beautiful ice rink. Skate at Somerset House is more than skating—it’s a festive tradition, framed by twinkling lights and the grandeur of one of the city’s cultural landmarks.

Glide across the ice to curated music sessions, warm up with gourmet hot chocolate or champagne in hand, and explore pop-up dining and après-skate bars. With late-night DJ takeovers, seasonal food stalls, and a backdrop that feels straight out of a film set, it’s a celebration of winter in the capital at its most stylish.
