Up at The O2 Climb for Two
Overview
Take a walk on the wild side, with this unforgettable guided expedition over the roof of London’s O2. Suspended above the iconic tent canvas, you and a fellow adventurer will make the 365m journey to the summit, 52m above ground level.
With the help of your Climb Guide, you’ll be fully briefed before donning your fetching climb suit, shoes and safety harness. Once you’re all set, you’ll make your way up to the walkway before attaching to the climb system and beginning your ascent.
At its steepest, the walkway has an incline of 28 degrees on the way up and 30 on the way back down. Once at the top, you can breathe in the incredible views of London stretching in every direction, and take some epic photos, before heading back down to earth.

What's Included

- Don your climb suits, strap in and ascend the purpose-built walkway together
- Take some excellent snaps from the summit or just breathe in the view
- Experience gift pack including personalised voucher and message card
What happens on the day?
The entrance to Up at The O2 is just to the left of The O2’s main entrance, and it’s here you’ll check in 15 minutes before your pre-booked time. Once everyone’s arrived (you’ll be heading up in a group), it’ll be time for a short safety briefing and grabbing your climbing gear – suit, shoes and a safety harness.
From there it’s up, up and away, heading to the summit of The O2 dome before a short stop at the top and heading back down the other side. You can take pictures with your phone at the summit, but there’s no photography on the way up or down – because you might drop your phone otherwise!

Up at the o2 experience
Absolutely fantastic experience. I brought this as a christmas gift for my God children, nieces and nephews - ages ranged from 9-15. We all had a blast. I personally have a mild fear for heights and its managable. A few of the kids also had fear, pushed through and made it to the other side. To my surprise they even expressed that they would do it all again. Perfect gift idea. Easy to book.

Amazing experience
An experience I will never forget. The tour guide Fran was very knowledgeable regarding safety and the surrounding areas which you can see from the very top of the 02. I do recommend the Sunset climb. You get to see daytime and dusk in one climb. If you're going in the cold months take gloves and a warm jacket.

Got to be done
Arrived a bit early so had time to look around inside the O2. Registration was already done so didn't need all the paperwork! Safety was at the utmost and the personal belongs system was well organised. the climb it self was brilliant and anyone could do it. The guide was very chatty and full of interesting information and gave the group plenty of time to take pictures at the top. It has got to be done. (can't add a picture to big)

Fun and exciting activity with excellent guide
It was really a good trip well worth the spend via Virgin Experience Voucher. Not a long queue given that it's on a Monday morning time.. My wife and I enjoyed the whole 45 minutes trip up to the O2 and getting back down.. All the way is the guide Richard who kept entertained and explained the key landmarks and their related history was definitely a good memory to hold it for years..

Great Experience
A great experience from start to finish. Sarah, our guide, was great fun and kept us smiling especially during the first part of the climb, which is quite steep but short.. We are in our seventies and managed it quite well. Great views from the top

What an experience
It was an 18+months wait to do this walk, my husband and I were pleased we were still fit and able enough to do it but still a bit apprehensive though determined to reach the top. The first incline was the hardest after that it did get easier. Our guide, Matt the hat was excellent. His enthusiasm kept everyone going. His instructions clear, concise. He was always on hand to help and support. Reaching the top, views amazing, Mat so knowledgeable, we were on a high, at 74yrs what an achievement .

Retirement gift from work colleagues
We had Boris as our guide and he was a competent communicator and although it started to rain quite heavily as he explained to us how to attach the safety tether and how to negotiate the safety cable support brackets it didn't bother him. You could be forgiven for thinking he may have had some mountain goat DNA in him as he went back and forth along the line of participants checking on their progress. By the time we reached the viewing platform the rain had stopped, and at the end almost dry.

Ò2 Dome climb
When you arrive and approach the dome it looks daunting, steep and hard ! A short brief and on with the kit. Pockets empty unless you have zip pockets to secure little bits and phone. Shoes, gillet , harness and link line, a check on harness and up to the platform for photos. The first section isn't as steep as it looks from the ground, we watched some struggle but reasonable fitness even for average over 60s it's fine, think of 3 flights of stairs. Good views from the top, no need to rush.

Great experience with our guide, George. Great knowledge of what we could see and was happy to talk and share his knowledge, very engaging and friendly. Not forgetting he was very safety conscious making us feel safe at all times. The climb was straight forward and not difficult and was pleased to have done it. Whike your there, experience the Emirates cable car and the Thames Water Taxis. Great day out.

Absolute rush. Amazing
From the start when you book on to the last step off the dome you are looked after and helped. It was such a great activity and the views were amazing. The guide (Ozzie) was so encouraging. Couldn't fault it. Felt very safe. Was hard going in some parts as it's steep. Would definitely recommend

Amazing experiance, our guide (Racheal/Rebbeca? Sorry im useless with names) was fantastic, bubbly, knowledgeable and very encourging. Photos of event were perfect. Only downside was the lack of sizes in the adult clothing ment my companion couldnt get a T-shirt or hoodie to mark the occassion (alot of dissapointed people on that one) but otherwize FANTASTIC!

Climb O2
Not quite what we expected, there was a safety briefing first and we needed to put on harnesses and special shoes. But it was brilliant, the view was amazing and we really enjoyed it. The leader was very engaging and friendly but also very reassuring for anyone feeling nervous. It was our first visit to the O2 so that was also really interesting. Would certainly recommend.

Up at the o2
Absolutely fantastic experience, weather could have been better, bit didn't take anything away from it Arrived and filled in liability form, watched a video, were shown how to put on harness and shown how we would move along the wire. Our guide Fran was on different side to us, so she could move up and down if needed. View from the top was great. Thoroughly recommend

Beautiful evening climb!
The staff and service were all very friendly and explanatory about the whole climb. We booked our experience to use on the sunset walk and wow the views were just amazing. A gorgeous pink sky developed whilst we were at the summit. Brilliant experience to tick off your list - and would recommend going at a time when the sky is going to change during your walk...
