Hoe we de Up at The O2 hebben beoordeeld
Onze methode£37 for 90 minutes is not cheap, but it includes all the gear, a guide and time on the summit platform.
A proper mini adventure: a harnessed walkway with inclines up to 28 degrees and huge views over Greenwich, Canary Wharf and the river.
Small guided groups on timed slots, so it never feels crowded. Sunset slots sell out first.
The most fun way to earn a London view. Pick a clear day, ideally a sunset climb.

Wat bezoekers zeggen
4.4/5 · 2,613 beoordelingen"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."

FAQ over de Up at The O2
Is Up at The O2 worth it?▾
Yes, if you want an active alternative to London's observation decks. You climb the roof of the arena in a harness with a guide, and the 360° summit view over Greenwich, Canary Wharf and the Thames is superb on a clear day.
Is the Up at The O2 climb hard or scary?▾
It is beginner-friendly. The walkway is bouncy underfoot with inclines up to 28 degrees, and you are clipped in the whole way. A basic level of fitness is enough, and guides set a comfortable pace. Anyone nervous of heights should expect a few pulse-raising moments.
What happens if the weather is bad?▾
Climbs run in rain but can be cancelled in high winds or storms. If your climb is cancelled you can rebook. On hazy days the climb still runs, but you lose the long views, so pick a clear day if you can.
Can children do Up at The O2?▾
Yes, from age 8 with a minimum height of 1.2 metres. Under-18s need an accompanying adult on the climb.
