Prince's Skating Club was an ice rink in the Knightsbridge area of London, England. It saw a number of firsts for ice hockey in Britain and Europe. The rink was opened on Montpelier Square on 7 November 1896 by the Princes Sporting Club. It operated on a membership-only basis and was aimed at the elite of British figure skaters who wished to practice on uncrowded ice. Prince's was the second large rectangular rink in Britain after Stockport, its ice measuring 210 by 52 feet. This made it an ideal venue for the developing sport of ice hockey.
