Arch Climbing Wall

This arch climbing gym is awesome. It has a wide range of climbs and climbing styles. The gyms are amazing and are very useful for training. This gym fixes my main critique with arch North as there are lots of slab walls to climb. I would highly recommend this gym for anyone looking for somewhere to boulder.

It’s a great bouldering spot with a perfect atmosphere, good boulders and beautiful music. Best thing though… they have showers, who are a little bit hidden but really well done and CLEAN! If I would life here this would be one of my main bouldering spots.

Big spacious climbing wall! Super busy after work, as expected but people are respectful and you can get a good session in

Really nice climbing gym, lots of walls of lots of different types of climbs (up, traverse, overhang). Only has a few (like 3) changing rooms which is a bit annoying. Lockers are there but not as big as lockers in the LCC centres. Gets very busy at peak times!

A very welcoming staff, and a good crowd of climbers, always on a great vibe. Everybody respects the common rules of the place, e.g. giving each other space to climb, waiting for your turn on the wall, supporting each other. An excellent atmosphere every time we visit.

Fun place to go to if your interested in rock climbing and want to hone your skills, or if you just want to have a bit of fun with your friends.An array of rock climbing walls and rooms, different levels of climbing going from easy, intermediate and quite hard.A good tip is to bring any sort of chalk, either powdered or liquid chalk as it can help with grip when climbing.If you have an aversion to your clothes being dirtied by white powder then this may not be for you as there is a high chance of your clothes being slightly stained.It is well worth the price especially if you're a student as it rounds out to £8.50 for the entire day.

A great and huge place to climb, one of the largest indoor bouldering places in London. Lots of climbs for many climbing levelsJust make sure you go before peak time or avoid Thursday evenings as it can be extremely busy especially if you are in the queue to go in

What a lovely bouldering gym! I must admit it was my second time ever going to climb, and first time here... but as a beginner and alone it was a great evening.The space seemed large, had a fair few routes of different types (slab, overhang, caves, traverse etc) with lots of types of styles of holds.The staff members were all very helpful and friendly, and the climbing community are such a great bunch of people.Routes were easy to spot, find and follow with clear tags and colours, and the tea/coffee were cost friendly and they also had a stocked shop for chalks, tape, shoes and clothes.

I have to say that this is probably the best bouldering place in East London. Excellent coffee too! Be coming there again defo. Enjoyed the session with my daughter. If anyone want to come and visit, you can park on the nearby park reserve. 4 hours free parking. Funny when I called, the lady person I spoke to didn't know any free parking, but the guy at the reception knew. So perhaps ensure that this should be common knowledge for your staff, so that people don't have to waste half an hour or so to look for parking like I did. That's my only rant.

Coming at this with many years climbing lead and top roping (6a-6c), and minimal bouldering. Really impressed with the route setting at the more basic v1-2 level that i boulder these days (since having a few years out). Routes were designed to push and develop you in some way. Lovely environment too. Big, open, lots of spaces. Beautiful place.I suspect it can get very busy at times (evenings, rainy or winter Sunday daytime etc...) because it was getting busy on a weekday at 1pm when I was there...Cafe allows food from elsewhere in the cafe, and lots of food options locally. Stools not that comfy in cafe.I really think I could improve my bouldering faster here than my usual mixed climbing centre.
