Alexandra Palace, the iconic Victorian entertainment venue perched atop a hill in north London, is set to launch a breathtaking new roof walk experience this month. Known as Summit Ally Pally, this attraction will become the highest rooftop walk in the entire United Kingdom, offering visitors a unique opportunity to explore the landmark from an unprecedented vantage point.
Unrivalled Views from 130 Metres
From a height of 130 metres above sea level, climbers will be guided to the Angel of Plenty statue at the top of Ally Pally, where they can enjoy spectacular panoramic views. According to early previews, the vista includes architectural beacons such as St Paul's Cathedral, the Shard, and Canary Wharf, as well as local landmarks like a church spire in Muswell Hill. Remarkably, it is reported that 28 of London's 32 boroughs are visible from this elevated position.
Booking Details and Special Experiences
The Summit Ally Pally experience officially opens on February 14, with bookings available now through the official website. Prices start from £28, plus a £2.75 booking fee. In addition to standard climbs, the venue will offer special sessions at sunset and during nighttime, including the possibility of booking during Alexandra Palace's legendary fireworks displays, adding an extra layer of excitement for thrill-seekers.
This new attraction not only enhances London's tourism offerings but also provides a fresh way to engage with one of the city's most historic sites. Whether you're a local resident or a visitor, Summit Ally Pally promises an unforgettable adventure with some of the best views in the capital.
