Whether you are looking for an extreme personal experience in London, or you want to do something genuinely unique for your next teambuilding event, reunion, or family trip, this climbing of the O2 Arena is a perfect choice.

The adventure starts with you meeting your friendly instructors at the arena’s base camp. They give you a safety briefing, some useful tips, and answer your questions before you go. Then, you receive the necessary equipment to climb the building. This includes an appropriate suit, harness, and comfortable boots. 

Nervous? Don’t be. Your experienced guides are with you every step of the way to the top of the viewing platform, reaching 52 meters (170 ft). More than that, they point out landmarks and share exciting facts about the city, making this tour even more interesting.

Once you reach the top, you can take your time to observe famous spots, such as Greenwich, the Olympic Park, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Canary Wharf, and The Shard.

Want to add an extra thrill to your climb? Then take this trip during sunset or at night to see the UK capital’s magnificent cityscape lit up before you.

As you or your group climb back down the building, you feel the 90 minutes going by much faster than you’d hope. Luckily, the memory of watching the city from London’s sky can be remembered forever.
