The O2 will be launching a new attraction on June 21 where Londoners can have an expedition across the roof of the building.
Up at The O2 begins at an immersive briefing area that has been inspired by the world’s best climbs.
Visitors will be kitted up in jumpsuits, shoes and safety harnesses by trained guides before making their way to the base of the tent to start their climb.
Climbers will be guided to a central observation point via a 190-metre fabric walkway, suspended between the O2’s distinct yellow masts.
From the summit visitors can see many of London’s landmarks including the Olympic Park and Canary Wharf, before making the descent back to base to complete the adventure.
