The London Skate

A warm August Wednesday night in London and a great skating event.  The organisation for this event, held every Wednesday evening through the summer, is excellent.  All skaters are marshalled through the entire route - this has to be the best way to see the sights of London and we recommend it to all average and experienced skaters.  It is also a great opportunity to meet other people and learn some new moves!
