What an incredible experience climbing the O2! From start to finish it was so well organised, and the views from the top were absolutely breathtaking. A huge thank you to our climb leader, Ellie, who made the whole experience even more enjoyable. She was friendly, knowledgeable, encouraging and had a great sense of humour, which really helped put everyone at ease. She struck the perfect balance between keeping us safe and making the climb fun, and her enthusiasm was infectious. Thank you, Ellie, for making our adventure so memorable. We had an amazing time and would highly recommend the O2 Climb to anyone looking for a unique experience!

We arrived a little late. But the ladies there were amazing and got us onto the next booking. The climb was tough I get it about switching sides to climb for wear and tear but mist people a predominantly right handed so was tough to kinda switch hands. The view was amazing. And the guide Rebecca was so knowledgeable not just about up but all of London and most importantly where the pub was. My only real bug bear is the stupid shoes. I had brand new sketchers on and apparently didn't have enough grip. I get it climbing shoes but damn there uncomfortable. And the price. Like staff wages. Wear tear of all equipment insurance. But nearly 90 quid for 2 people means Ur doing 450 quid every 15 mins. Fir a view of London yeah great still think you should bake it 20

Carefully climb to the summit 52m above London, feel the festive atmosphere, and enjoy views of Tower Bridge, the Shard, and sparkling holiday rooftops.

Lisa was awesome, we arrived from Toronto Canada. Lisa was very knowledgeable on history and facts on London. While we were climbing always checking in on us. When we reached the top she took amazing pictures of myself and my daughter. It's an experience we will always remember. Thank you Lisa 😀
