Yesterday, my nephew and I visited Up at The O2. From the very entrance, the staff were kind, friendly, and welcoming (truly excellent service). Everything was explained to us in detail, and the whole climbing experience was perfectly organized. Our guide during the climb was Conor. Thank you so much, Conor β€” thanks to you, we felt as if we were accompanied by a friend. He happily answered all our questions and also showed genuine interest in me and my nephew during a short conversation. The climb itself was very enjoyable, with beautiful views. At the top, Conor told us about the surrounding buildings and landmarks. Thank you for such a lovely experience β€” warm regards and great job πŸ™ŒπŸ»

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with older children and teens comfortable with heights and moderate physical activity. Sunset timing produces the most dramatic views and photo opportunities. Complete the online waiver form before arriving β€” doing it on site for a large group causes significant delays at check-in.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Complete waiver forms online before your visit β€” especially critical for school or scout groups
⏰Wear grip-sole shoes and a zip-up or button jacket β€” the top is exposed and wind is consistent
🎟️Sunset climbs offer the most spectacular lighting conditions for photos
πŸš—Use the toilets at the base before starting β€” there are none available at the top

β€œWe booked our timed tickets in advance for our daytime walk across the O2. A fantastic experience even on a cloudy cold day. Connor was our guide, he was great πŸ‘πŸ» everything is very well planned and we felt very safe. They provide jackets and shoes if needed, we had our own. The walk isn't too taxing and Connor made sure we were all having a great time. Lovely to have plenty of time at the top to admire the views and take photos πŸ“Έ Even on a dull day you can see for miles. The team take several photos on your journey which you can buy at the end. I would love to do the Sunset walk to see another perspective of London. Well worth the money for a great fun experience.”

β€œWe have had an amazing experience with Up at the O2. Right from the warm welcome at the reception to our guide, Rebecca, everything was superb. The climb is moderately easy, once you follow the instructions given. The views from the top are epic. We coincided our visit with the sunset hour and were rewarded with a beautiful London skyline. The icing on the cake was the snow globe at the top. All in all, we had a wonderful time. Thank you the awesome team at Up the O2 πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘ŒπŸΌβ€

β€œCame here with our scout group at the weekend. 6th Selby (Brayton) We all had a fantastic time. We went over in two groups. The only down side was having to fill in 18 waiver forms on arrival. Would have been better to do those in advance. Our guides Conor and Karl were fantastic. Answered all the scouts questions and told us some amazing things about London. There is photo opportunities but they aren't pushy with them at all. We will be back again”
