Ice Skating at the Natural History Museum, London

As I live near the Natural History Museum in London, I decided to take a look at skaters having fun on the large ice rink next to the museum, where young and old skate around a decorated Christmas tree, some more proficiently than others. This ice rink is set up next to the Natural History Museum for several weeks at Christmas time and 2014 marks the ice rink's tenth year.  This year it's open from the 30th of  October 2014 to the 4th of January 2015.   I was interested in the  movement, colour and atmosphere of the event and the people who were enjoying it.  It was a cold evening and I really appreciated my gloves....
