Glide at Battersea Power Station, London’s only riverside ice rink with a skate trail, returns from 6 November 2026 to 3 January 2027.
Set against one of London’s most iconic backdrops, Glide features three interconnecting rinks and a 200-metre skate trail, with spectacular views of the River Thames and London skyline along the way.
Whether it’s a picture-perfect date night, a skate with friends or a family day out with little ones and our penguin skate aids, there’s something for everyone.
Looking for the best ice skating in London this winter? Glide brings everything that makes a festive day or night out special together in one riverside spot.
Bringing the whole family? Little ones can find their feet with our trusty penguin skate aids, while older kids race their way round the skate trail. Heading out with friends? Grab your group, take on the trail and see who makes it round without a wobble.
When the sun goes down, Glide really comes into its own. Night ice skating beneath the famous chimneys, surrounded by twinkling lights and the river beside you, makes for a picture-perfect date night. Of all the London ice rinks, few can match this backdrop, and from first-timers to confident skaters, London ice skating doesn’t get more iconic.
Off the ice, enjoy festive food and drink at The Glass House, take a spin on our vintage fairground rides or grab a treat from one of our food stalls.
The Glass House is the perfect place to warm up before or after your skate, with festive food and drinks to share. Little ones (and big kids) will love a turn on the vintage fairground rides, while our food stalls are serving up warming treats, from steaming hot churros to festive favourites.

Fancy more time on the ice, a calmer skate or a little extra luxury? There’s a way to Glide for everyone this winter.
Get 3 hours and 45 minutes on the ice for the same price as a regular skate. Available on weekdays throughout November, it means more laps, more time to perfect that backwards glide and more of those riverside views.
Accessible Skate sessions offer a more relaxed environment, with fewer skaters on the ice, reduced music and reduced lighting. Available on select weekdays, they let everyone enjoy Glide at their own pace.
As the evening draws in, Glide takes on a whole new glow. Skate beneath the Power Station’s famous chimneys, surrounded by twinkling lights, with the Thames and the London skyline right beside you.
Swap your skates for winter boots and step into your own twinkling igloo. Exclusively for you and your group, it’s the perfect spot to order festive treats and settle in for a snug winter escape. Book an Igloo.
