London O2 walk

[TwigtheWonderkid]

Anyone done the walk over the top of the O2? Any good? Recommended or not.

Also, getting the cable car from Royal Docks to N Greenwich beforehand, do you just turn up and go? Looks that way on website. Pay by Oyster card by the look of it.

Comments please. Thanks.

I've done it, good fun. Try and pick a warm day as it can be really cold and windy! It can be hard work too if people are slow, personally I would have preferred to walk straight up but you have to go at the pace of the slowest person, which I found harder work! It's not cheap and doesn't last too long, my only disappointment is that you can't really see much. Canary Wharf blocks the view west and there isn't much the other way. Still, if you have the free time I would recommend it as something completely different to do.

There are a few places to eat at the Dome and worth a walk round if you've not been before. There isn't much on the north side of the river apart from an eco museum. I paid on Oyster and the rest of my group bought a ticket, the cable car isn't included in your usual 1-4 zone travel card.

you should be able to see the Dartford Crossing and the old Ford Plant Eastwards (and my old flat to the North, but you may not be as excited as me about that)
