You’ll feel your pulse quicken as you climb above Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London with a local guide leading the way. Step onto a glass walkway high above the football pitch, take in sweeping city views beside the golden cockerel, and capture photos at the summit before heading back down—nerves and all.
I didn’t really expect my legs to shake that much—thought I was braver, honestly. The Dare Skywalk Climb at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London is one of those things you say yes to before thinking it through. But once you’re standing there, getting zipped into a suit that smells faintly like fresh laundry and plastic, it gets real fast. Our guide, Sam, cracked a joke about “no turning back now,” and I laughed but also gripped my harness a little tighter.
The start is easy enough—just stairs and some nervous chatter from the group (I heard someone mutter about heights under their breath). Then you step out onto this glass walkway 46 meters up, right over the pitch. It’s weirdly quiet up there except for the wind and the distant hum of London traffic. Sam pointed out landmarks on the horizon—somehow he made it sound like he’d done this climb a thousand times but still got excited every time. I tried to spot my old flat from up there, no luck.
Standing next to that golden cockerel at the top felt stranger than I expected. Someone joked about touching it for good luck (don’t worry—they said not to). There’s a photographer snapping away if you want proof you did it—I wasn’t planning on buying a photo but then saw my own face looking half terrified, half thrilled, and honestly? Worth it. The descent felt faster than going up. My hands were cold even though it wasn’t that chilly—just nerves maybe.
I still think about that view down through the glass, how small everything looked. If you’re after a different kind of London adrenaline rush, with all the gear sorted and a guide who actually cares if you’re freaking out or not—it’s worth booking ahead for this one.
