5.00This was spur of the moment addition to our London trip for my friends birthday. I cannot recommend this activity enough! It was truly fantastic from start to finish. The safety instructions, gear & information was given completely clearly & precisely but with humour. Our guide Bea was just fantastic & I want to say a very personal thanks to her. We chatted & I am usually very quite scared of heights but this was just an amazing feeling to do. Would also like to thank bo too & infact all the team that day. We bought our photos & we had a Prosecco at the top & got lots of brilliant photos of our own. Thank you again. Loved it

5.00We had a great climb today. Imran was such a good guide,very informative and thorough. Everything from start to finish was very well organized and went very smooth. The snow globe was such a beautiful addition on the top, the snow machine inside made it even more magical. I would definitely do it again.
Exciting, scary, exhilarating, memorable. DO IT!!

5.00Amazing, but scary experience. A 90 minute climb up and down over the roof of the 02, formerly the Millennium Dome. You do need to be fit to do this, I must advise. You will need to sign waivers. It's scary but exhilarating. It's a 30 degree climb up to the roof, where they have an amazing Christmas dome, ideal for photos with incredible views all over the City of London. I had an amazing Guide Anu, who was fantastic, I highly recommend asking for him. Friendly, polite, always conscious of your security and offering assistance, and always willing to take additional photos for you, of the adventure. They always take additional photos as well for purchase, which are NOT cheap, let me say, but after conquering this, worthy of a purchase. I suggest doing this in nice weather. I booked 48 hrs in advance seeing the day was going to be clear. It might be more terrifying in showers, LOL. Once you reach the summit, there are a lot of photo ops, or a glass of champagne if you wish to pre-book, which I did. Nice time up there to relax and admire the scenery, plus Anu showed us all types of sites around the areas, Amazingly knowledgable. I have been to London about 40 times, so I had visited much, but this was still a great adventure. I think I actually taught him a few things about London and the surrounding areas, as I was there whilst the Dome was being built in the late 90's. The downward climb on the riverside off the 02 is scary, trust me, really scary. You are secure, as they use a system so that you cannot fall, but it is still a tough climb especially downward. But it's a great feeling when you reach the bottom and know you conquered this!! Felt like an out of body experience to myself, and yet I have done bunjy jumping and skydiving in the past. For adventure seekers, this is a NOT miss. Pricing is not crazy either, it's a reasonable price for a very powerful experience. I doubt I'd do it again, but that said, I would highly recommend this to any thrill seekers or someone wanting an adventure. It's fun. After you finish, you have the 02 which has movie theaters, plenty of shopping, bars and restaurants, and a quick walk to the North Greenwich Jubilee Line tube station, which can get you anyplace in London. A worthwhile experience. I'm so glad I did. Good on the entire staff, especially Anu for making this adventure awesome., I shall always remember this. Best to all of you in 2026!!!!

Snow globe fun adventure

5.00A fun experience with my daughter on 4th December. Our guide Aaron was excellent, very proficient and knowledgeable.It was a small group of 6, so their was plenty of space and time to enjoy the views at the top, having had a most welcome drink in the snow globe. He willingly took photos on everyone’s phones and clearly enjoys his job, an asset to the team. A very well run and organised attraction. To be thoroughly recommended. ( Unfortunately we were not able to access the review link sent by email.)
Great, even though it was raining!

5.00It was pouring with rain, but we were supplied with rain-proof coats and shoes, and our guide Max made it such a fun and entertaining experience, it didn’t matter at all! We could see quite a bit of the surrounding London, but the top of Canary Wharf was obscured by clouds! I went with my daughter for a birthday treat, and we had a really great day!
Amazing start for a hen party!

5.00We were a group of five celebrating a hen do on the 31st October and decided to start the day with some climbing. As I'm afraid of heights, I was quite nervous beforehand. The rain and wind on the day certainly didn't make it any easier in my head. Luckily, our guide Martin was absolutely brilliant! He made sure the whole experience felt relaxed, and eventually my fears had completely disappeared. He seemed to take good care of each climber from start to finish. At the top, we enjoyed a glass of bubbly, which was a nice touch especially for a hen party. We admired the views and listened to Martin's fascinating stories about the O2 and its surroundings. What stood out the most from the experience was the truly exceptional customer service we received the whole time. I contacted them beforehand by email and I felt so welcome already, while getting all the help I needed. On site, there were so many helpful staff members, always ready to assist, and often without even having to ask. Whenever I had a small problem or felt uncertain, it was sorted within seconds and always with such warmth that everything just felt so easy. Even afterwards, when we were buying photos of our climb, I was amazed at how patiently the cashier showed us the pictures again and again, constantly polite and smiling. This was a fantastic experience that I recommend to anyone visiting London! Having done the daytime climb, I'd now love to go there again and experience all their other options too! Sending love from Finland! 🇫🇮 PS Even though the gloves they offer are optional, I'd definitely recommend taking them!
