In Canary Wharf on Canada Square the will be a skating rink set up in late Nov/early Dec. There is a decent underground mall underneath with Cafes, etc where to have a bite with kids.\nSkates can be rented, but I do not know the availability of instruction. Quite possible though - and there is probably info on the web on details - just try ice skating Canary Wharf or Canada Square on Google.

Just 'google' sleigh rides uk and see what comes up! may depend on snow etc.\nHave you thought about a trip to Lapland? It's not that expensive and could be a really romantic trip!

It looks like they currently have figure skating available, but not much else. I imagine it won't be long before they have everything.

Good day.  \n\nHope I can give you some detailed info on figure skating.  I was a former competitive figure skater and have been coaching figure skating for 15+ years in the DFW area.  My students range from beginning level through national competitors.\n\nThere are two recognized organizations in the United States for figure skating: USFSA  (United States Figure Skating Association) and ISI (Ice Skating Institute).  \n\nUSFSA is the road to the US Figure Skating Championships, Worlds and the Olympics.  The levels in USFSA are pre-preliminary, preliminary, pre-juv, juv, intermediate, novice, junior and senior.  In the qualifying competitions, there are specific age restrictions for the appropriate levels.  \n\nFor example:  to compete at the regional level in juv girls the age limit is 12 years.  Keep in mind that even at the pre-preliminary level the girls are doing axels.  \n\nInitially, the skater would do learn-to-skate classes and private lessons to get them through the basic skill level.  Then they would move up to pre-preliminary levels and begin a series of tests: field moves (replaced school figures) and freeskate tests.  Successfully passing these tests qualifies the skater for their competition levels.\n\nI would highly recommend that your daughter skate through the ISI program.  There are numerous competition opportunities for your daughter's age range.    \n\nCheck with the local skating rink in your area to see if their skating classes follow the ISI curriculum.  It is geared primarly for recreational skaters and even goes through adult levels for competitions.  It is a great organizations and they even have their own "Worlds" each summer with no qualifying, unlike USFSA.  Any eligible ISI skater can compete at ISI Worlds.  It is being held this year (July) in Boston.  One of my skaters is competing at that competition.  My students range from ISI to USFSA skaters and both organizations are wonderful!  \n\nShe should start with learn-to-skate classes and supplement a private lesson once a week.  Repetition is key in figure skating and she should be practing twice a week.  This would be in addition to her learn to skate class.  \n\nPlease purchase her a pair of skates.  The rental skates are HORRIBLE....no support and they never sharpen the blades, making it difficult for the skaters to even hold an edge.  Skates can be expensive.....however, the 'Riedell' boot & blade can be purchaed for around $150.  You don't need an expensive boot & blade until the skater starts landing double jumps and requires a strong support to hold the edge.\n\nISI is lots of fun....competition events range from the traditional freeskate program to the "spotlight" where technical merit is not awarded and the more creative you can be as far as character, footwork, etc., you will do well.   \n\nISI's headquarters is in Dallas, TX.  She would need to join the ISI organization (around $15/yr) to become eligible to compete in ISI competition events.  The private lesson coach would test her ($5/test) so she can compete at that skill level.  The levels in ISI are Pre-alpha, alpha, beta, gamma, delta, Freeskate 1 through Freeskate10.\n\nISI is lots of fun, affordable and give your daughter the opportunity to see if she likes it or not.  Skating is NOT easy and the more your practice, the greater the improvement.  \n\nHave her practice initially on a public skating session (less $) and her private lesson to begin with can be conducted on that type of session.  If you are preparing for a competition and she is at the Delta level, then it's the right time to move to a freestyle session for practice/lessons.  \n\nIf you reside in the DFW area, I would be more than happy to speak with you in person.  \n\nThank you and I trust this was informative.\n\n\n\nI

The closest shop to LA that I can think of is Intuition Skate Shop in Bakersfield.  I know that's not exactly close, but inline shops are few and far between.\n\nGood luck...
