This newly established rink, located near Kennington Gate, was a popular destination for both locals and visitors alike. The rink featured both an inner covered and outer uncovered area, providing skaters with the flexibility to enjoy their sport regardless of the weather. The raised balcony, adorned with wicker chairs, offered a prime viewing spot for spectators. Here, ladies could relax in easy chairs, sipping tea and perusing daily and weekly newspapers while enjoying the lively scene below.
