In the middle of not one, but three interconnecting rinks, stands a towering 30ft Christmas tree, providing the ultimate festive centrepiece for your icy escapades. Dressed in twinkling lights, with the River Thames shimmering in the background, Boots presents Glide at Battersea Power Station is a truly magical destination this winter. But what else is there in store for the holiday season?
After you’ve skated to your heart’s content, The Glass House is the perfect place to warm up with a hot chocolate, wintery cocktail and delicious pizza. Plus, thanks to the bar being made of (you guessed it) glass, you’ll still be able to take in those stunning views, and watch the skaters gliding around the rink.
But the fun doesn’t end there. Private hire igloos, vintage games and fairground rides, such as the helter skelter and carousel can be found nearby, along with a sweet shop. You can also enjoy more festive vibes as you venture into Battersea Power Station. With over 150 restaurants, shops, bars, cafes and entertainment venues to explore, you’ve got everything you need to plan a full on Christmas-y outing.
After tucking into a delicious pizza at the Glass House, you can tick off all of your Christmas shopping, with an unrivalled array of signature brands and independent retailers to explore. And for those who’re looking to make their experience extra special, a trip to the top of Battersea Power Station’s north-west chimney in Lift 109 will afford you 360 degree views of the London skyline, from 109 metres in the sky.
