Reviews
Somerset House looked nice from the outside, but most of the rooms were closed when I went, so there wasn’t much to actually explore. Inside, there were a few stair installations by different creators, but it felt very minimal and underwhelming overall. The ice skating rink outside was probably the highlight — I didn’t skate, but the vibe was nice. Worth passing through, but not worth going out of your way for on a quiet day.
Visited Somerset House to check out the ice rink just as a spectator, and it was really lovely. The rink is large and beautifully set up, making it perfect for the festive season even if you’re not skating. There are kiosks around selling drinks, cookies, and other treats, plus a café nearby if you want to sit and warm up. A very apt and enjoyable winter visit.
You won't want to miss this historic place! Plus, enjoy a free daytime tour that brings the history to life—it's truly fascinating! The house regularly hosts art and music events that make each visit special. Don't forget to check out the charming, stylish café. And in winter, ice skating is an absolute must!
Ice skating is great here. Arrive 20 min before your reservation and get your rental skates on. Most comfortable rental skates and very orderly process.nWear long socks. If you are a beginner, stay on the edges of the ice rink. There are push balance things for small kids. Be courteous and take photos in the corners or very center of the rink. Dress warm and wear a hat and gloves if you might fall.nRestrooms, bar, chairs and tables, and food pop up stands.nThere is a Leon nearby for gf people.nWe had fun!
We booked ice skating for a Sunday evening at 7pm. Well organised and lovely setting. We had a great time. Pics taken during the break time whilst prepping the surface between sessions.
