State-of-the-art bouldering gym two minutes from Aldgate station with 100+ problems from beginner to V9, a Kilter Board, traverse wall, after-school clubs for ages 4-15, and birthday parties for ages 6+.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
One of London's most welcoming first-climbing venues - staff walk complete beginners through every aspect of bouldering in detail before they touch the wall. Children aged 8 and up do best, and the after-school programme accommodates ages 4 and over. The central location and strong public transport links make it easy to fold into a London day out.

“Climbing for 2 years now, have been to many different places across the UK but none as friendly and welcoming as City Bouldering. My friend who is new to climbing was shown in detail of the complexity of bouldering but as a whole it was nothing to be afraid or anxious of. Staff are very open to beginners and intermediate new comers. Spaces within the venue are one of the cleanest I have seen as of yet”

“This was my first time trying indoor climbing, and I absolutely loved it. Great premises, as well as the onboarding gate process and guidance from the staff, were brilliant.”
