We went on Winterville's rink last year and I agree it was really not fun to skate on. Tiny, too.


Somerset House is better and very beautiful/Christmassy (but also small), as is the Winter Wonderland rink in Hyde Park, which is bigger. I've also heard good things about the one in Canary Wharf but not been.


However, I agree Streatham is best if you want a really big, smooth rink, though it can get crowded in the run-up to Christmas and it's a bit municipal in atmosphere. Still love it there though!

Somerset House is the best outdoor for atmosphere. And Fortnum & Mason has a great pop-up shop there. Also lovely cafes with Fernandez & Wells, Rinkside & F&M cafes.


Canary Wharf is usually good and less crowded but haven't been this year yet.


Streatham is best indoor rink. Friendly crowd though it does get crowded this time of year. Prefer it from Feb/Mar to Nov : )

    • There have been recent changes to the law regarding immigration, for skilled workers, social care workers, dependents, English language requirements and further changes are underway. If these changes were not necessary to address problems, they wouldn't need to be done. As it is, protest does raise awareness of the issues - public interest in various matters is measured, and prioritised accordingly. Previously, it was public concern about energy prices, and cost of living - and at that time, immigration and the claims process were not on the 'list'. They are now.    
    • I hadn't read that article. I think I read it in another article or post quoting figures which were possibly wrong. Many of the people protesting their "unhappiness" appear to be racist. They don't appear to protest about white immigrants from, say, Australia. Nor do they come out waving flags to protest about, say, domestic violence by white men, unless you have evidence to the contrary?
    • This thread hasn't been updated for a while. For the Sept 2025 intake (i.e. the kids starting this week), the Charter East Dulwich school website says the 'longest distance' offered was 1700m (as of 1st May 2025 - I guess it might have increased a bit more after 1st May 2025). Below is a map of 1700m - but parents should still apply even if outside this circle (the distance has been increasing each year, as local demographics change etc) For those considering applying for Sept 2026, this recent Ofsted report is very encouraging - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50249504 - it basically says the school would have been graded as 'Outstanding', but it was not a 'graded inspection' so they are not officially allowed to say that. Obviously Ofsted has its limitations (!), but the text in this report is very complimentary.  And the recent GCSE and A level results are the best yet:  https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/post/year-11-students-at-the-charter-school-east-dulwich-achieve-strongest-gcse-results-yet  https://www.chartereastdulwich.org.uk/post/sixth-form-students-at-charter-east-celebrate-best-ever-results An unapologetically pro-Charter East Dulwich post 🙂
