Ive been to Somerset House every year for the last 5 years and can say its truly one of my favourite things each Christmas. Its great for all ages and really does feel special and christmassy unlike some temporary ice rinks which spring up at that time of year.

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the Tiffany's little shop and cafe - with tiffany's cups! (Charged me 25p for a clean one but I didn't mind I wanted a souvenir!
