The highest ice rink in London has left some skaters scratching their heads after they found it is missing a crucial element: ice.

The new attraction generated excitement online when it was built on the roof of Peckham landmark, the Bussey building, in south east London.

It is on the site of the seasonal Rooftop Film Club, which shows outdoor film screenings during the warm months, and comes with panoramic views of the city skyline.

But after the venue opened on 17 November, visitors reported disappointment at its ‘state-of-the-art synthetic skate rink.’

One TikTok user posted a video of their friends stomping around awkwardly across the surface in skates.

This was equally hilarious and upsetting. Demanding a refund lol sort it out @BusseyRooftopBarPeckham #iceskatinglondon #peckhamic
