Quick Review: I've visited this ice rink with my five year old daughter. It's quite a small rink but the location is lovely, right in front of the London Eye. For younger skaters there are orange plastic 'seals' for them to either ride on or hold onto and push. My daughter enjoyed both options but I have to say I actually preferred her riding the seal so I could push as I let go of the side of the rink for the first time! There's no cloakroom but you can leave a small bag with your shoes when collecting skates. There are no 'double blades' for younger skaters so my daughter wore standard ice skates for the first time. There is just one Ice Marshall on the rink but he was great at giving out tips and picking us up when needed. Another fun and recommended London ice rink.
