At its steepest point the walkway has an incline of 28° on the way up and 30° on the way back down and has a slight bounce to it to replicate the surface of the tent. There's a hand rail on the walkway and a balustrade on the observation platform. Before you climb, you'll meet your Climb Guide who'll take you through everything you need to know and give you a climb suit, shoes (if necessary) and a safety harness. You'll then make your way onto the walkway, via a short set of stairs, or lift, to the base of the tent ready to start your climb. There is an observation platform at the summit where you can take in spectacular 360° views of London and its many landmarks. Once on the platform you will be able to move freely to enjoy the views before your descent. At all other times you'll be attached to the climb system on the walkway to keep you safe and your Climb Guide will be nearby to help you and answer any questions.
Summer Climb: Fridays from 25 July - 29 August 2025
This summer, Up at The O2 is launching its very own Summer Sessions, a series of exclusive Friday night climbs with a twist: refreshing cocktails and mocktails, sky-high sunsets, and a resident DJ on the roof of one of London’s iconic landmarks where climbers will get to soak up the sun and the sights for the ultimate summer evening experience.
Included in the Summer Sessions ticket, climbers will be treated to a premium cocktail, with non-alcoholic mocktails also available, served and garnished in a classic tiki glass, with a summer soundtrack provided by a live DJ.
Climbers will be able to capture picture perfect shots of them relaxing in classic striped deckchairs against the backdrop of the London skyline, during extended time of 25 minutes on the roof. The ultimate way to kick off a summer weekend – whether you’re gathering friends for a unique summer spin, planning a date night to remember, or just looking for a reason to swap ground-level drinks for sky-high sips.
