Skate at Canary Wharf this Winter

2009-11-04

From 14 November, Canada Square Park will transform into a unique ice-skating facility, set against one of London’s most breathtaking backdrops.

Nestled beneath the world famous Canary Wharf towers, the ice rink will offer entertainment seven days a week. The adjacent Moose Bar will provide warm and welcoming refreshments for thirsty skaters including delicious mulled cider. The rink will be situated next to the new Park Pavilion in Canada Square, home to Canary Wharf’s newest bars and restaurants.

“Our skating and hospitality experience is among the best in London, and our rink is complemented by a vast array of shops, bars and restaurants, making for a delightful day or evening out for families, couples or even the whole office,” says Brian Jokat, Managing Director of the Canary Wharf Ice Rink.

Skating lessons for nervous beginners can be booked through the onsite box office from 14 November and skate hire will be provided at no additional cost. Around 4,000 local school children will also benefit from an eight-week skating lesson programme facilitated by the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and provided in partnership with the Education Department and David Molloy of the School Sports Partnership.

The skating season runs until 21 February with the rink open between 9.45am and 11pm Monday to Saturday and 9.45am-7.30pm on Sundays.
