With the festive season upon us once more and many looking to gift meaningful experiences this year, The O2 has two amazing adrenaline-pumping attractions that will surprise and delight even the most miserable grinch – and all just 15 minutes from central London…

Up at The O2

Perfect for those seeking a little bit of adventure, why not book your loved one an exhilarating walk across the roof of the world’s most popular music, leisure and entertainment venue with Up at The O2?

The 90-minute 365-metre tour boasts unparalleled views of the city, offering a number of packages to suit every occasion, including daytime climbs or even one of its spectacular Twilight Climbs – now featuring the attraction’s newly installed dazzling walkway light installation.

Made up of over 1,000 individual lights – and a permanent addition to the London attraction – any climbers redeeming a Twilight Climb package throughout the month of December will experience the installation lit up in festive colours, providing the perfect Christmas backdrop to your rooftop selfies.

With climbs starting from £40pp head to Up at The O2’s website to book your climb or purchase a gift card. O2 or Virgin Media customers can also enjoy an extra 20% off any climb type by visiting the Priority app.

iFLY London

Landing at The O2 in December, iFLY offers guests the unforgettable sensation of flying without so much as a parachute. Perfect for budding daredevils, the experience is the ideal Christmas gift or activity to enjoy with friends and family this festive season.

Guided by experienced instructors, each session lasts up to 60 minutes, including a pre-flight briefing, instructor training and of course the flights themselves followed by an awesome flight demo from the instructor.

Opening in January, tickets to fly are available to purchase from the iFLY website and are available from £69.99pp

The O2 is easily accessible from central London by car, tube, and Uber Boat by Thames Clippers.
