Mummy, I want a roller disco.” I never thought I would hear those words. It’s like a breath of fresh air: gold sequined shorts, shiny bright leggings and flashing roller skate wheels. Even better is sending out the kids’ party invitations with “Flipper’s Roller Boogie Palace” on them – rather than a local church hall.
Liberty Ross – the English model – has just opened London’s only dedicated roller rink: a grade II-listed building in Westfield, White City, with pop star Usher. It’s a relaxed and effortlessly cool venue for anybody who wants to roller skate, or even just hang out. It’s open all week until late with live DJ nights and an American diner, “Hotdogs and Caviar” – and soon-to-be live concerts. It’s also where my daughter Lola is having her seventh birthday party.
