Christmas carol concerts are a big part of the festive season but London is hosting one with a difference on 9th and 10th December – it's on top of The O2. Up at The O2 is an exhilarating activity that gives you the chance to scale this distinctive London landmark and enjoy panoramic views of the city when you reach the top. If you take part in the experience over this festive weekend, it won't just be stunning vistas that greet you at the top – you can enjoy a performance from carollers too. 

Whilst there are a number of climbs you can choose from throughout the year, including celebration climbs with a glass of bubbly at the top, this one promises to really be something special. Between 4.45 and 7.30pm on these two days, you'll scale the building over 90 minutes and then enjoy the sounds of Vocal Dimension Chorus as they entertain visitors with traditional carols and more contemporary Christmas hits. It'll probably be a bit chilly up there so you'll get a complimentary hot chocolate too to keep you warm and cosy. 

Added to all that, the route will be illuminated with a new installation of more than 1,000 twinkling lights to really help you get into the Christmas spirit. Tickets for these special festive climbs are the same price as a standard climb. All you need to do to secure your spot for this wholly unique experience is to book a slot at 4.45pm, 5.15pm, 5.30pm, 5.45pm, 6.30pm, 6.45pm, 7.15pm or 7.30pm on either day. Bookings are open now on The O2's website.
