Never skated?

If you've never skated before, please don't make a street skate your first outing!

We'd suggest taking some lessons and spending some time practicing on Serpentine Road in Hyde Park.

Street skating isn't too hard, but we wouldn't want your first experience to put you off.

Once you can stop and turn, the Sunday StrollTM is a good place to start.

Please read our rules if you're coming to skate with us.

LFNSTM Essential Info

The London Friday Night SkateTM runs every Friday at 8pm from the middle of Hyde Park Corner Roundabout (Wellington Arch).

The Sunday StrollTM runs every Sunday at 2pm, from the Eastern End of Serpentine Road, inside Hyde Park.

> Rules of the Street Skates

All skates are weather dependant - if its raining we won't be skating!

YOU SKATE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
