Best climbing wall I've been to. Staff very friendly and helpful. Facilities amazing. Loved the garden area- felt a bit like outdoor climbing. The location is neat too, being so near the Tube line. Very affordable too, especially the early morning. Had a great time. Will be back!

I can’t recommend Climbing Wall Mile End Centre enough! My son absolutely loves it, and we even celebrated his birthday there-it was an amazing experience. The team looked after us so well, making the whole day stress-free and fun. A massive thank you to Juancho, D’Arcy, Laura, Nolan, and Emma for being so flexible, proactive, and friendly-it really made a difference. I’ve also been using their sauna for over a year now, and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made! Between the facilities, the welcoming team, and the incredible community they’ve built, this place is just fantastic. A truly brilliant community and a wonderful experience for all ages!

The staff are welcoming and friendly. Kate met me in the climbing store next door and was kind enough to climb with me while also introducing me to her friends. As a visitor I couldn't have felt more accepted to another gym. Great facility, great community, great diversity of problems. Great place, thanks Kate.
