Terrible ice quality
Terrible ice quality, often even after being newly resurfaced. Whoever is doing the resurfacing, is completely incompetent or just doesn’t care. Ice quality was much better at the old rink. Also, gangs of rude and dangerous freestyle skaters is just an accident waiting to happen: overall, a shame: instead of hiring random youths to run and supervise the ice rink, please raise your standards and manage the facility professionally; after all this is a new centre that you proudly advertise as one of the best in the country!

Hi Greg,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback about Lee Valley Ice Centre.
We're sorry to hear that your experience has not met expectations. We appreciate your comments regarding the ice quality and understand how important well-maintained ice is to ensuring an enjoyable skating experience.
We're also concerned to hear your feedback regarding safety, supervision, and your interactions with other skaters. Providing a safe and welcoming environment for all visitors is a priority, and your comments will be shared with the centre management team for review.
Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. Customer feedback is invaluable in helping us identify areas where improvements may be needed.
Warm Regards,
Hazal

There are no safety rules being enforced and make me wonder if I should go somewhere else.
You often see freestyle skaters in hockey skates skating dangerously close to others during public sessions. I've witnessed hockey skaters zooming so close to young children or and executing hockey stops right next to people, sending snow flying everywhere. I seen many have raised their concerns before, but it feels like nothing has changed. The staff doesn't seem to be enforcing any rules and to be honest some of these guys seems to work at the facility anyway.
It would be great if there were separate sessions for hockey freestyle skating. This way, public sessions could be more enjoyable and safe for everyone practicing and having fun on the ice.
The ice rink and facilities are nice, but it's really uncomfortable and risky to skate around these reckless and thoughtless freestyle skaters.

Hi William,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re sorry to hear that you did not feel safe during your visit. What you’ve described regarding skaters moving at speed, skating too close to others, and performing sudden stops near children is understandably concerning, and we appreciate you raising this with us. The safety of all our customers is a top priority, and public skating sessions should be enjoyable and comfortable for everyone.
We also understand your frustration regarding the lack of visible rule enforcement. Your comments will be shared with the site management team so they can review supervision levels, reinforce safety guidelines, and ensure staff are actively monitoring behaviour on the ice.
Your suggestion around introducing separate sessions for hockey or freestyle skating is also very helpful, and we will ensure this is passed on for consideration as this could greatly improve the experience for all users.
We’re pleased to hear that you find the ice rink and facilities themselves to be nice, but we’re sorry that your overall experience was impacted in this way. Thank you again for your honest and constructive feedback.
Warm Regards,
Hazal

Badly managed rink
The management doesn’t seem to care about the rink and facilities.
Ice often badly resurfaced, sometimes it’s not even resurfaced at all before the first session in the morning. Occasionally the ice is nice, so I don’t see why this can’t be done everyday.
Female toilet is dirty. One of the soap dispensers broken for months and nobody fixes it.
Skaters are allowed to skate in an unsafe way, very fast speed, with headphones on and mobile phone in one hand going very close to other people.

Good Morning S,
Thank you for sharing this with us!
We’re currently in contact with our Management Team regarding the concerns you’ve raised.
Once we receive a response, we’ll update our response to your review!
[Update]
Hi S,
Thank you for your feedback!
We’re sorry to hear about your recent experience with us.
We always aim to keep the ice and facilities to a high standard, but there are times when ice quality can be affected by heavy use from earlier sessions, including hockey, or very busy schedules.
Any cleanliness and maintenance issues are logged and managed through routine checks.
For safety, skating rules are in place during public sessions, including restrictions on speed, mobile phone use, and wearing headphones, and staff are present to monitor this.
We appreciate you sharing this with us, as your comments help us to review and improve the overall experience.
Thank you again for your feedback!
Warm Regards,

Gym used to be great until Kings Hall closed and now apparently every single person in Hackney uses this gym. It’s impossible to be able to use the equipment you need, made worse by people taking 10 minute “rests” between sets and scrolling on their phones. Bring back Covid style slot booking please!!!

Freestyle skaters let the centre down
Centre upkeep & Ice Coaches - 5*
Let hugely down by freestyle/hockey boys using the public ice all day every day to whizz around at crazy speeds, dangerously weave in & out of skaters who clearly are beginners & learning to skate, plus people having lessons & causing accidents to happen.
They also wear headphones, while looking at their phones, so have no clue of their surroundings.
I got knocked down by a kid of about 15 clumsily going backwards at speed super close to the side rails. I wasn't moving, so luckily didn't sustain any injuries, but was more concerned for a girl of about 4/5yrs having a lesson maybe a meter away, as that would've been another story.
This was during the day around 2pm on a weekday - the rink had maybe 30 people on it & several taking lessons, that were struggling to find safe zones to practice.
Regulars have told me these guys have a cat & mouse kind of game, dodging in between people, resulting knocking skaters over. Recently there was an accident where someone had to be taken to hospital & left blood on the ice.
As the centre I'd be concerned how liable they'd be for a person's safety if a serious accident did occur, as there is never any supervision on the public ice apart from at peak times.
Honestly such a shame this rink's reputation is let down by a select few who actively want to put others at risk.
It's great to see kids getting into a sport & finding a community, but the public ice needs to have regular supervision (there is none) & select sessions where freestylers can cause their havoc together.

Hi Rebecca,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and completely understand your concerns — safety on the ice is our top priority, and it's clear from your message that we fell short during your visit to the Lee Valley Ice Centre.
We want all skaters, whether beginners, families, or those taking lessons, to feel safe and supported. The kind of behaviour you've described — skaters weaving through crowds at high speeds, using phones or wearing headphones — is not acceptable during public skating sessions. It goes against our rink’s code of conduct, which is in place specifically to prevent accidents and ensure a respectful environment for all users.
We're especially sorry to hear about the incident you experienced and are relieved no serious injury occurred. That said, your experience — and the close call with a young child — highlight a serious need for stronger enforcement and clearer separation between freestyle practice and public sessions.
We’re actively reviewing our rink supervision policies and session structure. This includes:
•Increased on-ice supervision during all public sessions, not just at peak times.
•Dedicated freestyle or hockey training slots, separate from public sessions.
•Clear signage and staff reminders to ensure headphone use, phone use, and dangerous manoeuvres are prohibited during general skating.
We're also reinforcing with our regular skaters the importance of being mindful of others and skating safely.
Thank you again for your honest review — feedback like this helps us improve. We hope you’ll give us another chance in the future to provide a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Warm regards,
Charmaine
No safety rules enforced
There're always dangerous free style skaters in hockey skates skating recklessly and close to other people at public sessions. I have seen hockey skaters skating backwards very fast and looking at their phones; and doing hockey stop right next to other people, shaving all the snow onto them. I have complaint before but nothing seems to have been done. Staff don't seem to be enforcing any rules.
Hockey freestyle skating should have seperate sessions. So the public sessions are inclusive for people practicing and enjoying skating.
The ice rink and facility are nice but it's unpleasant and dangerous to skate among these reckless and inconsiderate freestyle skaters.

Hi Planetuyio,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're genuinely sorry to hear about your experience during public skating sessions at Lee Valley Ice Centre. Your concerns about safety and the behaviour of some skaters are completely understandable, and we agree that all visitors should feel safe and welcome on the ice.
We take these matters seriously and are currently reviewing how we manage public sessions, including how we address reckless skating. While our staff are trained to monitor the ice and encourage safe behaviour, it’s clear from your experience that there is room for improvement.
We also appreciate your suggestion about separate freestyle hockey sessions — it's a valuable point and something we will consider as part of our ongoing efforts to make the rink more inclusive for skaters of all levels and interests.
Thank you again for your feedback — it helps us create a better and safer experience for everyone.
Warm regards,
Charmaine

Great Ice Rink, just needs some tweaks re managing poor behaviour on ice
Great centre, lovely friendly staff.
Ice skates for hire seem to be good, although we have our own.
Cafe is good, would prefer slightly more food options on bank holidays, as larger menu is only available on weekends.
Only criticism is the ice hockey skaters during public skating need to be managed better, as they skate too fast & far too close to others. They are going to cause a major accident if they aren't careful due to their total lack of consideration to others. Staff need to be more proactive responding to them & getting them off the ice when they don't consider others on the ice.

ice skating lessons / awful customer services team
Recently started ice skating lessons at Lee Valley at age of 60, having not been on ice for 40 years. So far everyone has been friendly and encouraging, and the facilities are first rate.
Update : The venue's admin support is a nightmare. I have cancelled my direct debit because of travel plans but have another three lessons already paid for. This was confirmed to me in writing but now they are insisting I am not entitled to those lessons. So I have paid for two months up front, and only got six lessons. A complete swizz but so far they are not backing down.
Thanks Charmaine, but it is your customer services team that is the problem. What they have done is in clear breach of your own T&Cs, and I have written today ( 3 April) saying that unless by 2pm today they confirm in writing that will reverse their mistake, I will not embarrass myself by turning up for tonight's ( paid for) lesson, as no doubt they will not let me skate. The whole thing has become a joke.

Thank you for sharing your experience with us, and we're glad to hear that your initial ice skating lessons have been positive, with friendly and encouraging staff as well as excellent facilities. However, we're sorry to hear about the issues you've encountered with our admin support and the confusion regarding your remaining lessons.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate your patience as we work to improve our processes. Our contact email details are customerservices@gll.org.

Excellent rink and great ice skating lessons…
Excellent rink and great ice skating lessons. The coaches are fantastic and supportive, and I couldn’t be happier with how much I’m progressing.
Improvements on how the rink is managed during increasingly popular public and disco sessions are necessary, however. Staff don’t enforce the rink’s own publicised rules, allowing speeding, risky overtaking and a dangerous mix of very able free styling skaters and people who are struggling on the ice together with people with intermediate abilities trying to practice their skills. Public sessions separated by ability or skating style could be a solution.
Added after ice centre reply: Thanks so much for your swift reply! Looking forward to ice skating more at Lee Valley!

We also really appreciate your feedback regarding the management of our public and disco sessions. We take safety seriously, and we understand how important it is to have a well-organized skating environment, especially during busy sessions. Your suggestion of separating skaters by ability or skating style is a great idea, and we’ll certainly take that into consideration as we continue to improve our sessions.
Thanks again for sharing your experience, and we look forward to seeing you back on the ice soon!

Lee Valley Ice rink is spacious and clean! My boys enjoyed it. The workers are all professional and friendly. Josh was amazing. He was in the ice rink as well with his hi-vis on and he helped my boy when he was crying and was so patient with him and eventually he started trying to skate on his own. So lovely! I saw Josh helping others as well. Such a nice person.
