Ice Rinks in London

North London has the big one for a proper outing: Alexandra Palace Ice Rink sits on the hilltop site alongside Go Ape and a boating lake, with skating from £2.50 and penguin aids for wobbly three-year-olds, plus grown-ups get a decent session too. South of the river, Streatham Ice and Leisure Centre runs an Olympic-sized rink under the same roof as two pools and a soft play area, and swimming is free for Lambeth kids under 11 if you fancy turning it into a longer visit. For toddlers, Alexandra Palace's penguin aids make the difference between a meltdown and a proper go on the ice. Streatham suits families who want options once skates come off, since the pools and soft play mean older and younger children can split off and do their own thing. Both are indoor, so weather is never the decider here, and both have accessible toilets and step-free access if that matters for your visit.
