Planning your visit
Keep Covent Garden and Leicester Square together on your itinerary. Book skating first if it is your priority, then leave the market visit flexible.
Tickets: what to check
The market and skating rink run from 31 October to 3 January, with Christmas Day closed. Skating requires its own booking; market browsing does not include a rink session.
Leicester Square makes a useful starting point for a theatre evening. Compare Les Misérables at the Sondheim and The Phantom of the Opera at His Majesty’s. Keep a generous gap after skating for changing, food and the walk to the theatre.
