The Friday Night Skate
Get your skates on and take to the streets of Central London every Friday
Every week hundreds of skaters meet at the Duke of Wellington Arch at Hyde Park Corner at 7.30pm and then take to the streets for a massive skate around London.
The route changes every week and skaters are accompanied by a sound system attached to the back of a bike that blares out music to skate to. The Friday Night Skate has been operating for six years now and prides itself on its friendly, party atmosphere.
The FNS is only suitable for skaters with a medium to high level of expertise as the route is a fast one with often bumpy or steep terrain and lasts for 10 - 12 miles. The next event is on Friday 3rd August.
The weekly skate is weather permitting so for more information click here and find out the route and weather report. For extra information check out the FAQs sections on the official FNS site (see above).
