There’s something magical about standing above the city, feeling the wind in your hair, and soaking in panoramic views of London’s skyline. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a photography lover, or just someone who wants to see the capital from a new perspective, this 90-minute climb is worth every step.
Here’s everything you need to know about my climb ‘Up at The O2’—plus, a mouthwatering food stop you won’t want to miss after!
Why Climb The O2? Because the Views Are Next Level!
The O2 isn’t just one of London’s most iconic music and entertainment venues—it also offers an epic rooftop adventure where you can climb its famous domed structure and see the city like never before.
At the summit, you get a 360-degree view that stretches up to 15 miles on a clear day. Some of London’s most famous landmarks are visible, including:
✅ Canary Wharf’s towering skyline
✅ The Shard piercing through the cityscape
✅ The meandering River Thames
✅ Greenwich Park & the Royal Observatory
And honestly? Seeing London from this height makes you fall in love with the city all over again.
The Climb: Is It Difficult?
One of the best things about Up at The O2 is that you don’t need to be a pro climber to do it. The walkway is slightly bouncy underfoot (to mimic the fabric of the O2 dome), but it’s designed for all abilities.
Fitness level? If you can handle a few flights of stairs, you’ll be fine!
What to wear? You’ll be given a special climb suit & shoes if needed.
Scared of heights? The guides are super supportive & will help you feel at ease.
Speaking of guides, the @upattheo2 team is amazing. They bring such fun energy, sharing cool facts about the O2’s history and pointing out landmarks as you climb. The whole experience is not just an adventure—it’s entertainment too!
The Best Part: Celebrating at the Summit!
Once you reach the top, you’ll have time to soak in the view, take incredible photos, and even book a special celebration climb where you can toast to your achievement with a glass of bubbly (non-alcoholic options available too!).
Sunset climbs? Incredible golden-hour views.
Night climbs? London lights up like a dream.
If you’re celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or just ticking this off your bucket list, the summit is the perfect place to do it.
Refueling After the Climb: A Foodie’s Paradise!
After working up an appetite, I headed straight to @marugameuk for some of the freshest and most delicious Japanese food in London.
Their authentic udon noodles, crispy tempura, and rich broth were exactly what I needed after the climb. Nothing beats a comforting bowl of fresh udon after an adventure!
Other amazing food spots at The O2 include:
Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza – Unlimited pizza, anyone?
Gaucho – For top-tier steak lovers.
Byron – Juicy burgers to fuel your next adventure.
Whatever your taste, The O2 is home to some of London’s best food spots, making it the perfect place to celebrate your climb!
