Everybody's Gone Skatin'
Christmas is slowly but surely approaching and so, therefore, is that undying tradition of strapping two bits of metal to one's feet and falling over in front of complete strangers.
Outdoor ice rinks will soon be bustling with activity as groups of festive revellers decide to test their balance with often painful, but amusing, results.
One of the most picturesque and charming places to enjoy a spot of ice-skating with friends and family is the Tower of London, where a rink is set up in the dry moat beneath the outer curtain wall of the tower.
Skaters can warm up with some mulled wine and a mince pie and people coming from far and wide to take part in this London tradition should make sure they have a comfortable hotel to return to following their adventures on the ice.
One of the capital's most famous and distinctive landmarks, the Tower of London has been used as a prison, a place of execution, a royal mint, a menagerie and a jewel house.
Previous occupants of the Tower's prison have included Sir Walter Raleigh, Guy Fawkes, the Kray twins and even Queen Elizabeth I.
