Hi All,

Im hoping a few of you may be able to offer up on some advice on where to skate in london, preferably indoors, and also (please dont laugh) if anyone does skating lessons? I know its up to me to learn and practise, but im more of a team player...

You only need to make one thread. smile.gif

Xbox or whatever the park's called does lessons for beginners. I think it's just little kids.. Dunno how old you are..
Wesborne grove or something I think the nearest stop is.

And phil got here first with far better info.. wacko.gif

i dont know how old you are but if you go to school you could get your school to make a skateing club like my school and ther should be a pro teaching you
if not you get one on one teaching
try this site out http://www.skateboardschool.co.uk/prices.html

yeah, infortunately im too old for school, im 23, and i dont wanna look like a total douche with a bunch of 13 year olds, so is there only one indoor katepark in london? that seems odd

thers skate plaza some wear in london and bay to and also south bank google them you would probably find somthig

Skate Plaza is under-18 only.
Bay66 is the Xbox/Playstation Skatepark under the Westway already mentioned and suggested.
Southbank is under cover, but tiny (when i went on a Sunday evening it was quiet - about 15 people there tops - but i imagine it'd be very crowded alot of the time).

Bay66 is definitely the best bet, as it's big, under cover, and does have beginners lessons.

I wish there were other options too, but none that i know of. With the weather getting better generally, might be best to just try for Superstore/Supermarket carparks in the evening.

keep an eye open for any 'car park' meets that Claire organizes.... none of us that go are experts and we generally just enjoy a mellow roll-round. you're welcome to come along and enjoy the vibe.

meanwhile Gardens is pretty cool to learn and deserted most weekdays - such a nice small bowl to potter around in smile.gif
