The Westminster Ice Club was an ice rink located in Brighton, England.[1] When it opened in late 1926, the Manchester Ice Palace was the only other rink in existence throughout Great Britain.
The facility was known as later renamed the Westminster Ice Rink in the mid-1930s. The BBC acquired the building in 1940 and converted it into the studio.
According to Carl Erhardt, hockey players were not looked upon with great fondness at the rink. He was quoted as saying that they were "really looked upon as a nuisance".
