"The annual cluster of outdoor ice rinks that pop up like mushrooms around London in the winter will be joined by a new one - in the centre of Leicester Square. "Now is the winter of our disco tents - made glorious ice by this rink machine." As part of West End's annual fenced-off Christmas market, they're introducing an ice rink in the middle circle, where you will be able to twirl your way around the statue of William Shakespeare in the middle. That's a bit of an improvement on previous years when the statue was covered up by the Christmas sheds."
"Considering the naming opportunities, the somewhat unimaginatively named Skate Leicester Square will be open from 1st November 2025 to 4th January 2026, and tickets are on sale from here. Tickets for ice skating can also be purchased on site from the box office if there is capacity on the day."
""Is this a dagger which I see before me... or merely the rental skate bill?" Off peak prices Adults: £14.50 Children (3 to 12): £9.50 Family (2a+2c or 1a+3c): £40 Peak prices Adults: £18.50 Children (3 to 12): £13.50 Family (2a+2c or 1a+3c): £56 There is also a £3 booking fee. "Friends, skaters, countrymen - lend me your blades." Skate hire is included in the price of your ticket, but you're also welcome to bring your own skates, subject to suitability checks."
