Were those gleaming double doors always part of the Lee Valley Ice Centre? No, they are part of the grand redesign this place underwent, a transformation completed just recently in 2023. The Lee Valley Ice Centre isn’t just any ice rink. It boasts not one, but two Olympic-sized rinks, ready to host the world’s best. Before this impressive makeover, the Lee Valley Ice Centre had a more humble, single-rink existence, inaugurated back in 1984 with a touch of Olympic magic, opened by the legendary skating duo Torvill and Dean. This place has seen it all, from aspiring athletes taking their first glides to the drama of national league ice hockey with the Lee Valley Lions who call this place home. Even musical legends The Lightning Seeds chose this icy haven to film their music video “Sugar Coated Iceberg” in 1996. So, the next time you’re gliding across the ice at Lee Valley Ice Centre, remember you’re sharing the space with Olympic dreams, rock and roll history, and the spirit of transformation.
