Skate at Somerset House with Switzerland Tourism
Festivities are in full swing here, so embrace the cold and get your skates on. For best availability, we recommend kickstarting your day with a morning spin on the ice or booking ahead for the days between Christmas and the new year.
Alongside our iconic ice rink, we’ve got raclette, cheese fondue and other indulgent delicacies at Little Suisse and Chalet Suisse by Jimmy Garcia for that unique Swiss winter vibe.
