Up at The O2 Sunset or Twilight Climb

Up at The O2 Sunset or Twilight Climb Tickets

Scale London's most famous dome and watch the city transform before your eyes. Up at The O2 takes you 52 metres above ground level to the summit of the O2 Arena, where panoramic views stretch across the Thames from Canary Wharf to Greenwich Peninsula. This isn't just a climb - it's a front-row seat to London's daily light show as the sun sets and streetlights begin to twinkle across the capital.

Your 90-minute adventure begins with a comprehensive safety briefing before you're fitted with specialised climbing suits, harnesses and secure footwear. Professional guides lead you along the dome's exterior walkway using a sophisticated safety line system, sharing fascinating insights about the O2's architecture and pointing out major landmarks during your ascent. The timing of sunset and twilight climbs means you'll experience both daylight and evening perspectives from this unique vantage point, creating perfect opportunities for spectacular photographs.

Plan Your Visit to Up at The O2

The complete experience lasts approximately 90 minutes including safety briefing, equipment fitting, climb, summit time and descent. Arrive 30 minutes before your scheduled climb time for check-in and safety procedures. Sunset departure times vary seasonally - summer climbs start later than winter sessions, so check your confirmation email for exact timings.

Participants must be at least 8 years old, with children under 18 accompanied by adults. Weight restrictions apply (maximum 130kg) and you'll need reasonable fitness levels for the moderate physical activity. The climb operates year-round in most weather conditions, continuing in light rain but postponed during high winds or severe weather.

North Greenwich Underground station on the Jubilee Line connects directly to the O2, making this easily accessible from anywhere in London. If you're planning to explore more of Greenwich's attractions, consider combining your climb with a visit to the Cutty Sark or the Royal Observatory Greenwich for a full day of London sightseeing. Book at least 2-3 weeks ahead as weekend sunset slots often sell out, with summer evening climbs requiring up to a month's advance booking.
