Here is one place I’ve been longing to visit – the London Ice Bar! 😀 So this year we decided to give it a go during the Christmas season! It’s the only bar in the UK that is entirely made of ice and is kept at -5°C all year round, and apparently their ice is harvested from Northern Sweden. You have to book tickets before you go in as there are always lots of people visiting. Luckily the queue wasn’t a long wait, and once inside, we were given a cloak and gloves to wear, and we also got a free drink!
We ordered cocktails – a passion fruit cocktail and a lychee cocktail (can’t remember the names, sorry!). The drinks were served in an ice glass, which was pretty cooool (mind the pun XD)
It was pretty cold inside, even holding my cocktail glass with my gloves on! But the cloak definitely helped. The interior was lit up with lights that kept changing colour, there were ice sculptures (the theme this year was ‘Wild in the City’) and a few tables. I was a bit surprised that there were no chairs/bar stools to sit on, and the place was a lot smaller than I thought.
We were allowed maximum of 40 minutes inside before the next group of people entered.
But overall we had a great time and I’m glad we went! I think it’s definitely worth visiting in London, especially during the cold winter months!
Hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! 🙂
