Some of the most popular winter ice-skating locations and only recently announced, such as the Tower of London, which we were very much looking forward to visiting, have now been cancelled because of you know what (as per their website). As gutted as we are, we are not here to dwell on it and therefore we want to share some equally exciting, (not so) hot spots where you can still get your skates on.
Ice skating can be covid safe too you know. When you’re falling over that often people are unlikely to get very close anyway, and we don’t really mind wearing our masks as we brave the cold, we have found wearing a mask actually keeps us quite warm and toasty too. So let’s all get out in the open and enjoy the fresh crisp winter air.
