Climbing the O2

On a crispy sunny Saturday 29th September, we headed to the O2 in North Greenwich to climb its roof!

I must say we were happy the weather was good as we couldn't imagine being a nice experience in the rain.

After checking in, filling a form that basically says if anything happens they would not be responsible and a quick cheesy video explaining the climb, we were ready to go.

We put on a climb suit and harness and after following the instructions from the guide, we were on the roof!

I must say it was steeper than I thought but with my french alps legs, it wasnt so difficult.

Took us about an hour to climb up and down and stop at the top for beautiful view of the Docklands and beyond.

While we were admiring the views and taking photos, the guide gave us a few interesting facts, one that surprised me if that apparently, the Thames is so clean these days that there are now sea horses in the river!

I would definitely recommend to anyone!

After the climb, we took the Emirates flight aka the cable cars crossing to the Thames to the Excel center before heading back to the city.

It takes less than 10 minutes to cross the river and again, a great opportunity to gaze at the beautiful city.
