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!

5.00We went up the O2 yesterday and had the best time! Our guide, Mark, was amazing – friendly, funny, and full of fascinating facts. He told us how eco-friendly the O2 is (even the toilets use rainwater!), explained the clever design of the structure, and shared stories about the famous people who’ve been up there. It was engaging from start to finish and great value for money. The views were incredible and it’s a perfect activity for families or groups . Huge thanks to Mark for making it such a brilliant experience. We’d definitely recommend it!

5.00Fabulous experience! Aaron our guide was great fun, helpful and informative - thank you. We weren’t sure what to expect but it was extremely well organised and we loved every my minute of it. Being able to borrow a coat and gloves in addition to the shoes that you have to wear was very useful. Valuables are stored securely (Gizmo & Buzz Lightyear). We lucked out with the weather. It stayed dry and we had great views.
Fantastic experience!

5.00I had wanted to experience up at the o2 for many years, but after an injury last year, I wasn’t sure whether I would be able to physically participate. Today, I turned 40 and as a special day, my husband and daughter took me to London to celebrate! We started the day with a climb and although I was nervous, I didn’t need to be… we were in a group of approx 16 climbers, of all different abilities. This helped to lessen the worry as it did not feel rushed or pressurised. The guide, Abdul (hope I have spelt that correctly) was really supportive and nothing was a problem. He supported us all well and just wanted to make sure that we enjoyed the experience. Despite being at the back of the group, he did not forget us and came to check on us regularly, including asking if we were feeling ok. The ascent was fine but the final part of the walk is at 30 degrees and is quite challenging for those with existing injuries! I now want to go back for a twilight walk and would love to time it for the snowglobe!
Brilliant experience.

5.00Aaron our guide was brilliant and very informative. Somehow my son managed to convince him to carry his Labubu to the top, and Aaron agreed, which was very kind. The whole experience was great and something a bit different.
Great experience. Something different

5.00I did the climb with a friend, I was a little bit nervous doing the climb as I am Type 1 Diabetic and have to take my supplies with me. Our guide, Owain, put me at ease straight away! He made the experience, fun, and answered any questions we had about the surrounding area and what we could see - very knowledgeable! All in all the experience was a little bit expensive (with the ticket and a Prosecco drink at the top!), but it was so worth it! I would 100% recommend getting a drink and having a little celebration at the top, it makes completing the climb, and taking in the skyline of London just that extra bit special. We did the sunset climb, which was so beautiful. All in all, this was an amazing experience and I will 100% be back!

5.00What a wonderful experience! Right from the start the staff were smiley and helpful. Our guide, Owain, was brilliant… very knowledgeable and good fun. He made us feel very safe. The safety checks were thorough and he kept us well informed of what we would be doing. The views from the top of the O2 were amazing and Owain provided a great commentary of all the surrounding buildings and their history. A fab day out! Thoroughly recommend it!
Something different and interesting to do in London

5.00Really challenging experience for me as I am afraid of heights and have a mobility issue with one leg. Our terrific guide Karl (with a K!) was really helpful, professional and friendly. Safety is taken seriously and each person’s harness is thoroughly checked before starting the climb. To be honest I was so busy focussing on getting the metal ‘C’ part of the safety harness attachment over the constant bumps on the wire you are attached to I didn’t have time to think about being scared. At the top the view is great. Karl pointed out landmarks to us and told some stories. He also took photos with our cameras for us if we wanted. One thing I recommend is to wear gloves. They have them available for use at no extra charge. The metal cable you hold onto is quite hard so the gloves were very useful and I think helped prevent my hands getting sore or chafed. Going down is steeper towards the last section but we climbed down backwards which seemed the easier way to do it. My friends and I really enjoyed the experience and I felt a good sense of achievement. Would totally recommend it as something different to do in London.
