Check out what poeple have been saying about White Spider
This is the second time we have been to the white spider and I can’t recommend it enough.
Dave our instructor was brilliant with the kids I highly recommend him.
The kids had a fantastic time.
One member of the party had a bit of a wobble about coming and the staff were totally understanding
And dealt with the situation perfectly.
Thank you very much
My child had a birthday party for 12 6 - 7 year olds and they all had a great time. The staff were friendly and encouraging to all the children. Another Mum and I were able to climb during the children’s climbing session - everyone was catered for! It was great to have the Castle included in the price so the children could have fun after the party finished. All the accompanying parents were impressed with the staff and facilities. My booking and queries were handled in a timely manner and very professionally. This is 1 of 3 centres my family use regularly, and we all love it!
We completed the introductory session for climbing and had an excellent experience with Omar. We immediately booked in for a private sessions so we can learn to climb unassisted and expect to come weekly. Totally addicted!
I booked to have two instructors for 8 under 8s for my sons birthday party. Everyone had a brilliant time. The guys were so professional, helpful, patient and encouraging. The children did a variety of climbs and learned how to belay. Plus the final game was great fun. I booked the function room to have pizza and cake afterwards and this worked really well. It’s clean and spacious. Papa johns pizza deal of 33% was the perfect treat for hungry climbers. Thanks white spider. Your emails leading up the party were all really helpful and the online safety form worked well.
The course was excellent and gave me a comprehensive overview of lead climbing and belay on lead. George was welcoming, encouraging and knowledgable. The course also introduced us to problems you may encounter and how to manage these safely for both the climber and the belayer. The environment was really safe and we had loads of opportunity to practice. I feel confident to lead climb and belay safely.

The welcome I experienced from the new White Spider Crew was truly memorable. Despite being in mid build, the level of assistance provided by the crew for me to be able to complete the vital training necessary for such an incredible facility was unmatched in my 24 years in the trade.
Expectations of White Spider from the climbing community are high, and I can guarantee that White Spider will not disappoint.
White Spider is quite simply ‘HIGH QUALITY’
Thank You to all, I wish you the greatest success.
David Bruton, Iota Climbing : Early August 2012
For the last time, White Spider stands naked and unadorned, the elegant sensuality of design, of shape and curve revealed like a beautiful woman before she dresses. As the flame flickers and fades into the past, leaving behind some of the finest sports facilities in the world, climbers will soon discover that, in White Spider, they also have their own state of the art facility to teach, train, test and above all, enjoy. Thank you Steve for showing me round. Truly impressive.

This wall will undoubtedly give a head start to many London climbers and I look forward to seeing the next junior stars grow and make their name here.”
I can see White Spider develop into a top facility for London climbers. The children’s castle, innovative shapes and characterful bouldering areas offer what you need in a training session. The friendly atmosphere and cafe area promises to offer partners for adventures further afield… Look forward to visiting again soon.
