What To Expect

Make your way to The O2, located near the North Greenwich Station tube stop, and find the Up the O2 Basecamp.

Meet your climbing guide and listen to a safety briefing and orientation to the 170-foot (52-meter) structure that is home to a variety of restaurants and entertainment options, and is the world's busiest music venue. Get fitted with boots, safety harness, and latch.

After the briefing, latch into the safety system and begin the steep ascent, which reaches up to 28 degrees. Make it to the top of the dome for 360-degree views over London, including both the north and south of the River Thames. See the historic grounds of Greenwich, Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, and the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. You're not done yet; the descent is part of the thrill.

Your experience ends safely back at the base camp.

Great experience, nothing like it

Sadie_S, Jun 2025
I wanted something to do like ziplining and found this experience and found it to be something different than the usual. I think it was great, great reviews. They give you shoes and jackets if they are needed.

Don’t miss it. Loved it

Perfect vacation day

Liz_P, May 2025
It was the perfect day to climb it. Sunny with a nice breeze. Makayla was our guide and she was caring and patient with all of us. It was amazing how big is The city and how much I need to explore. I will definitely recommend this fun activity.

More exciting than expected

Anna_S, May 2025
It was much more exciting then I anticipated. Especially with some bubbly on top. Really fun experience. Recommended

We had a brilliant time. Owain was a fabulous guide and we all really enjoyed the experience.

It was all very smooth from start to finish. The walk was hard at the start but the vast majority of it was absolutely fine. Take your sunglasses as it can be bright.

Climbing the O2 was a very unique experience. It gave me the opportunity to challenge myself and my fear of heights. Max was an amazing guide who was very knowledgeable and patient and understanding about my fear of heights and he got me to challenge myself. Seeing the amazing view from the top of the O2 was amazing!

Great Views

Robyn_N, Mar 2025

Abdoul_M, Dec 2024
It was great experience. We really enjoyed the climbing and the views of the city. It’s definitely a must to do in the city

Excellent guide and tour

Rahul_M, Dec 2024
This was a great experience, made all the more fun and interactive by our guide Jack. Jack was funny and patient and catered to everyone's varying ability in the group.

It was rather meh for me....

Zabrina_S, Dec 2024
It was rather meh for me. Maybe it was because of the weather. It was raining throughout the climb and when we reached the top, i didn't think much of the view. Also, I'm not sure if the price justifies this experience.

Amazing

angelathompson191, Dec 2024
Amazing value fab views great instructors and snow globe just topped it off ! It’s the second time I’ve done the walk and I’ll defo do it again

The best time ever!

Marjorie_B, Nov 2024
30 degree incline, but it is possible! There are several sections of the climb and that initial one is the steepest. Our guide, Joey, was great! I made it to the top, did pictures in the snowglobe with my daughter and made our way back down. Down can be trickier than up, but you can always walk backwards.

Happy hiking

Louise_T, Nov 2024
Special little adventure with my daughter. Not too challenging but very enjoyable climb to the top, where we enjoyed the views and a glass of bubbly, before our descent. Even the drizzle couldnt spoil the experience.

Amazing experience

Shanice_C, Oct 2024

We had a great climb with an excellent guide. We were first climb of the day and lucky to be in a small group of only 8 and had fab weather and views. Felt very safe with all kit provided and good instruction given. Great pace - no one felt rushed or under pressure. Would recommend.

Great fun

David_E, Sep 2024
What a great experience. I'd highly recommend it, even my son who doesn't like heights enjoyed it. The guide Humphrey was excellent.

Get over your fear of heights

Helena_P, Sep 2024
Walking down the steep incline on the way back The tour guide was very nice and didn’t rush anyone being brought up in London I knew the land marks that could be seen but the tour guide was very knowledgeable and very clear We up the 02 with a nice bunch of people who chatted and we had a bit of a laugh

Fantastic to see London from a different angle, great to make new memories with friends. Thank you to the O2 team 👍

Fantastic experience.

Lisa_M, Sep 2024
A fantastic experience. We were lucky with the weather and the views were stunning. We felt totally safe in our harnesses and our belongings were safely locked away whilst we climbed. Lots of fun to do and accessible to a variety of ages. We'd thoroughly recommend it.

The views were amazing...

Ian_J, Sep 2024
The views were amazing and the staff was friendly. If I come back I will definitely like to do again

Enjoyable experience.

Muhammad_B, Sep 2024
Very enjoyable day out. Max was very knowledgable and happy guide. Definitely recommended followed by food in the O2.

Lots of fun & a great view!

Jennifer_C, Aug 2024
My husband & I climbed with our 12-year old daughter. The staff took their time ensuring we were safe. The climb was not too strenuous for any of us and the view from the top was spectacular! We liked the panels telling us what we were viewing and a bit of London history. Could have used about 10 more minutes though to read through them all and take more photos.
