Quick overview

  • Ways to explore: Every ticket includes a guided climb over The O2’s 52m-high roof. Standalone climbs last 90 minutes, with all safety equipment provided. Go by day for views of up to 15 miles, or choose sunset or twilight.
  • Unique experiences: The Celebration Climb adds a 100ml glass of bubbly or a soft drink at the summit. It’s made for special occasions.
  • Combos: Pair the climb with the IFS Cloud Cable Car , The Shard, the London Eye, the Tower of London or a Thames cruise. Combos save 4–10%.
  • Queues and timing: Arrive 15 minutes before your climb on most tickets, as latecomers can’t be admitted. The London Eye combo can mean a wait of up to 30–60 minutes with a standard ticket.
  • Who can climb: Guests must be 8 or older, at least 1.2m tall and up to 130kg. Climbing isn’t suitable during pregnancy. Children under 18 need one adult for every five.
  • Good to know: Most tickets offer a full refund if you cancel 72 hours before the start time. The Shard combo can’t be cancelled or rescheduled.
  • Best upgrade: The Sunset or Twilight Climb, from £40, shows London in golden light or glowing city lights. It’s a small step up from the £37 daytime ticket.
