Ice skating - BEWARE that an adult must accompany children on the ice. The ticketing website lets you book just children’s tickets only!! Apparently it’s in the terms and conditions somewhere….nnI am not able to skate and had planned to take my kids into London on my own to skate here as a treat. Luckily my wife came at the last minute and we managed to buy her a ticket, otherwise I would have had two very upset children!
There’s a Summer Fountain, the kids are so happy to play with water there, full of kids’ laughter. That area is gorgeous, can’t stop taking pictures, trying to capture all the amazing scene there. Try to go inside the building, but can’t really find the way to view the exhibition, just found one which requires ticket to go in. Anyway, the fountain area in the middle worth a visit already, too beautiful!
Somerset House is a stunning cultural hub in London, offering a mix of history, art, and architecture. The building itself is beautiful, with its grand courtyard that often hosts outdoor events, exhibitions, and ice skating in the winter. The art galleries and creative spaces inside always feature interesting and unique exhibitions, making it a must-see for art lovers. The riverside location adds to its charm, providing a peaceful spot to relax and enjoy the views. Whether you're attending an event or just exploring, Somerset House is a truly special place to visit in London.
We went to Somerset House last Christmas for a friend hangout, and honestly, it was such a good time! The whole place was decked out for the holidays – super festive! We tried some wine, hit the ice rink, just the perfect holiday vibe. If you’re planning to go around Christmas, here’s a few quick tips: definitely book your skating spot early since it fills up fast, and check out the Christmas Arcade for unique gifts great for last-minute stuff. Oh, and grab a mulled wine by the rink – nothing better after a skate session. And don’t miss the huge Christmas tree for some pics! Honestly, Somerset House at Christmas is just a vibe – skating, drinks, holiday shopping, all in one spot. Perfect place to soak up the Christmas spirit!
This is an amazing space both as an example of Baroque architecture, art galleries and open public space.nnThis building was until 2000 the record office of births, deaths and marriages in the UK and the Square was the staff car park.nnEnjoy this great space, just off The Strand to relax and enjoy the London seasons
