About Glide at Battersea Power Station

Glide returns to Battersea Power Station from 6 November 2026 to 3 January 2027. It is London’s only riverside ice rink with a skate trail: three interconnecting rinks joined by a 200-metre trail, with the Thames and the London skyline alongside and the power station’s four chimneys above. Penguin skate aids help younger children find their feet. Off the ice, the Glass House serves festive food and drink, vintage fairground rides turn beside the rink, and stalls sell hot churros. Private igloos can be booked for groups. Tickets are timed and booked on Glide’s own website. Our advice: book ahead for evenings and weekends, then walk through Turbine Hall A for the shops and the Christmas lights. Battersea Power Station Underground station, on the Northern line, is a short walk away, and Uber Boat by Thames Clippers stops at the pier.
