Mile End Climbing Wall

Really good climbing wall, affordable for London if you get a membership. Routes are re-set often, lots of really good climbing. A good mix of top rope and lead walls as well as a few auto belays. Can get quite busy but if you go outside of peak hours it often can be mostly empty. Staff are extremely friendly and really helpful if you ever have questions. Biggest bonus is that the best rock climbing shop in London is right next door as well.

Nice gym with large bouldering area, staff and good routes however I would not recommend this gym for rope climbing, the rope climbing area is very small and although there are nice routes the autobelay is often next to lead climbs and topropes and the area can become overcrowded. While I was there several times beginners tried to start a climb on an autobelay while I was belaying lead with one falling on me after they started climbing despite us telling them to wait, with even more experienced climbers constantly starting routes right next to eachother without adequate space to climb safely. The area felt particularly unsafe because of how close everything was and could really do with some supervision or larger, clearer signage - there was also no belay test when registering.

Great bouldering gym with great setting. As a plus, the gear store has the most helpful shoe advice in all of London!
