What do I need to bring to my rollerblade course?

Rollerblades, obviously! These can be hired from ‘Club Blue Room‘ at Marble Arch. or ‘Slick Willies‘ on Gloucester Road. Both within walking distance from Hyde Park. Click here for our advice on buying inline skates.
Protective padding. Wrists, knees mandatory. Helmet, elbows recommended. These will come with hired skates so don’t worry.
A bottle of water. London is always hot and sunny so hydration is key.
A sense of humour. You may fall over, if you don’t your instructor will push you over. Falling hurts your dignity more than your bones!
