Was Besucher sagen
4.4/5 · 2,613 Bewertungen"Climbers rave about the 360-degree skyline view from the O2 roof and the upbeat, safety-focused guides. Harnesses feel secure, lockers are available, and special sunset climbs earn extra praise for spectacular colours. Be ready for strong winds on top, pricey souvenir photos, and limited locker space for large bags. Dress for the weather, arrive a few minutes early for the briefing, and be ready for a short but steep ascent that ends with unforgettable London panoramas."
