Our guide, THEO, was absolutely brilliant. He helped me throughout as I was nervous and slow but he had patience with me. I am so grateful to him for his professionalsm and kindness. He made the climb a great experience. The lady on reception was very friendly and helpful and made checking in an efficient process.

A fun activity and a great experience! Special thanks to Josh for taking us up there, it was fun chatting with you and learning about the O2 and its surroundings while making it to the top!

Professional guides lead the climb, ensuring safety, sharing seasonal highlights, and pointing out the best angles for Christmas-themed snowy photos at the summit.

The summit includes 20 extended minutes for photography, letting you capture London’s winter skyline and the iconic snow globe in all its festive glory.

Choose your climb time for ideal holiday views: daytime for crisp sights, sunset for golden winter tones, or twilight for illuminated festive cityscapes.

Don’t miss this limited-time festive event from 21 November 2025 to 4 January 2026, offering a rare chance to see London decorated for the holidays.
