Alexandra Palace, the iconic north London landmark, is set to unveil the UK's highest roof walk, named "Summit," on 14 February 2026. This new aerial adventure promises to offer breathtaking panoramic views of the capital from an impressive height of 130 metres above sea level.
A Unique Guided Experience Above London
Created by the innovative urban aerial adventure company Wire & Sky, the Summit experience will be a guided, hour-long journey that takes participants to the historic Angel of Plenty statue situated on the palace's roof. From this elevated vantage point, visitors will be treated to unparalleled views of London's most famous landmarks, stretching across the city's skyline.
Flexible Climbing Options for Different Times of Day
The attraction has been designed to cater to various preferences, with three distinct climbing experiences available:
- Daytime climbs for clear, bright views of the city
- Sunset sessions offering golden hour photography opportunities
- After-dark adventures for experiencing London's glittering night lights
Each experience includes expert guidance from trained professionals and all necessary safety equipment to ensure participants can enjoy the adventure with complete confidence.
Accessibility and Ticket Information
The Summit roof walk is accessible to individuals aged eight years and older who meet the minimum height requirement of 1.2 metres. This makes the attraction suitable for families with older children and adventure-seekers of various ages.
Advance booking is recommended for this unique experience, with adult tickets starting from £22 per person. The ticket price encompasses the full guided experience, including the expertise of trained guides and all essential climbing equipment required for safety during the aerial adventure.
Alexandra Palace, with its rich history dating back to 1873, continues to reinvent itself as a premier destination for cultural and leisure activities. The addition of the Summit roof walk represents a significant enhancement to its visitor offerings, combining historical architecture with modern adventure tourism.
The development reflects a growing trend in urban adventure experiences that allow people to engage with city landscapes in new and exciting ways. By transforming the palace's roof into an accessible attraction, Wire & Sky and Alexandra Palace management are creating a unique proposition in the UK's tourism and leisure market.
