About this site

What it is

romfordicearena.co.uk is an independent guide to ice skating in Romford and the surrounding part of Essex and east London. It covers where to skate today, how public sessions, lessons and parties generally work, the ice hockey teams worth watching, the other rinks within reach, kit for beginners and children, and the history of the old Romford Ice Arena on Rom Valley Way.

What it isn't

This is not the official website of any ice rink. It is not run by, endorsed by or connected with Sapphire Ice & Leisure, Everyone Active, the London Borough of Havering, the Romford Raiders or any other club, or by anyone who operated the former Romford Ice Arena. Nothing is for sale here and the site takes no bookings. For session times, prices, lessons, parties and tickets, use the operator's own site; for Romford that is the Sapphire Ice & Leisure page on Everyone Active.

How we write it

We describe how things work rather than quoting prices or timetables that change every term. Historical facts come from published sources such as local press and club records; if you know better, tell us and we will correct it.

Who runs it

The site is published by Centraserve Ltd, a company registered in England that runs a number of independent information sites. Some pages carry a "Shop this on Amazon" link, and a few link to hotel searches on Booking.com. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases made through those links, which is how the site pays for itself. See the terms of use and privacy policy.

Corrections and contact

If something is out of date or wrong, or you would like a page added or removed, use the contact form. It is the only way to reach us, and we read everything that comes through it. We cannot answer booking or refund questions for any rink.
