From rooftop beaches and wild swimming spots to immersive exhibitions and a full-sized replica of a 500-year-old ship, London is awash with new things to do and see this summer. And now we’ve got another exciting experience to add to the sun-soaked bucket list.
Roll up, roll up, because the Big Smoke is getting a new funfair. Electric Summer is taking over the Power Station Park and the Coaling Jetty at Battersea Power Station from July 29 to August 31, with fairground rides, a big wheel, dodgems and boardwalk games. It’ll also have an array of different pétanque courts where you’ll be able to hone your skills in the classic French ball game (think boules but, well, even French-er).
The pièce de résistance of the whole venue will be a huge central roller rink, open to skaters of all experience levels. The rink itself is set to have a whole programme of sessions and events. Morning classes will include dedicated lessons for people wanting to build their confidence on wheels, while kids’ classes will show little’uns how to take to their skates for the first time. Electric Summer’s roller rink will also have an adult skate school and fitness classes, as well as Thursday late-night skate sessions and silent discos on a Saturday.
Sounds like thirsty work, huh? Well, don’t fret, because there’s also a Boardwalk Bar and roof terrace where you can rehydrate in the sunshine. On the Coaling Jetty, a relaxed waterside bar and eatery will serve freshly made artisan sandwiches.
Electric Summer will be open every day from July 29 to August 31, including bank holidays, from 10am to 10pm. While walk-ins for all of its rides, games and skate sessions are welcome, you can also book specific activities at its website here.
