Q. What is LondonSkate?
LondonSkate is the UK’s largest, FREE, mass-participation streetskate. It was started back in 2000 as the BettyBlade, and will be entering its sixth year later this year — watch out for the fifth anniversary party-skate.
LondonSkate consists of between 200 and 800 skaters, 20 to 50 marshals and a sound system. The highly proficient marshals block the traffic at junctions to allow the skate to pass, and to keep all participants safe.
LondonSkate is also a great laugh, a brilliant form of exercise, a unique social event, and a pretty good way of picking up totty. It’s a chilled-out skate around town, passing some of London’s most famous landmarks and stopping at some great pubs on a variety of different routes.

Q. How do I take part?
Taking part in LondonSkate is simplicity itself. Turn up at Hyde Park on a Wednesday evening at 7.30 for 8.00. The skate starts from opposite the Bandstand on Serpentine Road, but frankly speaking, 800 skaters are a little hard to miss.

Q. Am I good enough?
The Wednesday skate is generally fast and you need to be able to keep up, know how stop well, perhaps downhill and be able to turn at fast speeds around tight corners. If you are in any doubt, book a skating lesson to assess your ability and get you up to speed.
