Check out what poeple have been saying about White Spider
Thoroughly enjoyable introductory session for myself and my five year old daughter. She loved it and wants to come back again ; I also thought it was great fun and something we may well repeat soon. Just the right balance of some of the technical bits of knot tying and belaying technique with actually getting up (and down) the walls!
Really enjoyable session with useful tips on how to get started and climb safely. We were shown around the amazing variety of climbing walls and our instructor, David, was great at demonstrating and very encouraging when we attempted to climb. I'll definitely come back and try the yellows!
Our first time at white spider. Ellen had loads of fun and it was really inexpensive. Her instructor led was great and all the staff friendly
5 children form 17-6 years all well taken care of by Zac.
Thoroughly enjoyable first experience of White Spider yesterday (taster session for me and my 10 year old son). Great facilities; attentive staff; friendly ethos. I'll be back.

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.
