The Montague on the Gardens Ski Lodge

Description

Step off Bloomsbury Street to be transported into a unique festive experience. The Montague on the Garden's Ski Lodge is London's original ski lodge and winter party venue.

Transformed into a magical ski lodge, the Wood Deck of The Montague becomes complete with pine trees, falling snow, reindeer, snowmen, ski racks, piste maps and strings of fairy lights and lanterns to provide that festive feel. The centrally located bar serves up a selection of drinks with highlights being schnapps and flavoured vodkas.

To keep the icy chills and romantic snowflakes at bay, the Ski Lodge offers an abundance of delights: delicious candied pecans, mulled wine, hot spiced cider and mugs of steaming hot chocolate.
