Climb The O2

Who would you invite to 'come climb and dine at The O2 with me'? The O2 climb and dine experience offers a heady mix of scaling the heights of The O2 Arena, combined with a nice meal out afterwards - in a restaurant right underneath where you were walking!

You can't beat a bit of urban mountaineering and The O2 and meal is the real deal. You'll certainly be earning your dinner, as you take on the walkways that literally take you up to the middle of the famous roof and back down the other side. All with sweeping 360 degrees thrown in for good measure.

And we have to say, by all accounts it's pretty full-on out there for The O2 climbers and diners. You'll be kitted out in a climbing outfit according to the weather (it can be windy at the summit!) that also includes a climbing harness and special sticky-soled boots for extra grip. As you get all this gear on, the nerves are bound to start - it's not every day you walk up and over a massive roof structure now is it? All the climb team members are really friendly and will encourage you all the way.

Having conquered your personal Everest right there in the heart of SE10, enjoyed the views in the middle and gathered your thoughts to walk back down the other side, it's time to celebrate your bravery - with a nice meal at All Bar One at The O2.

And when we say this All Bar One is at The O2, we mean right inside the arena, overlooking the main entrance hall and next to the ticket office, just a couple of leaps from the Up at The O2 basecamp where you started your experience.

Whilst getting settled into your seat and perusing the set menu for your two course meal, take a moment to reflect. Just a few minutes ago you were actually walking right over the very top of this All Bar One, where you're now sitting for your meal. That's a big deal in our book and if we were you, we'd be celebrating our climb and dine at The O2 with a glass of something bubbly!

Take a toast on the roof of The O2 with a Celebration Climb for two! On this thrilling experience you'll be marvelling at the views whilst sipping a glass of Champagne at the viewing platform right in the middle of the roof of London's iconic O2 Arena.

Before you can chink glasses and say cheers, you have to get up there. And that's where it all gets interesting. Originally built to house the exhibition to celebrate the start of the third millennium, 'The Dome' as it was known is still, to this day, the largest structure of its type in the world. It may resemble a large marquee, but it's actually a major feat of engineering and architecture standing 52m high.

Given all that, how on earth do you get up there for your celebratory flute of Champagne Lanson? Well, you walk it, that's how! You get kitted out with special O2 walking boots with harnesses and karabiners and then you set off with your guide leading you on your mission to scale this most famous curved structure.

It's an incredible adventure up there, as you pass those iconic 100m-high yellow masts and make your way skywards. Having reached the very highest point of The O2, it's time to congratulate yourselves with your well-deserved glass of Champagne.

At this point if you have something very special to celebrate, it might be the moment to savour. Maybe you have a question to pop? Maybe you want to raise a glass to acknowledge that special person or a birthday? Whatever the occasion, there's no better way that celebrating right on the very top of The O2, glass of Champagne in hand.

What goes up must come down, as they say, so having taken in the views, shared a selfie or two, done the toasting and polished off your Champagne, it's time to walk back down the other side of The O2. Once your feet are back on solid ground, take a moment to look back at where you've just been and congratulate yourselves on your incredible O2 celebration climb.
