City of London / Views

Climb the Monument

Adult admission · per adult

A concentrated dose of London history with a physical challenge attached. It earns its place as a paid option for people who actively want the climb and the view.

What to expect

This is a stair climb, not a lift ride. The £7 adult price is for the Monument only; do not confuse old joint-ticket prices with current admission.

Price, without the small print

£7 · per adult. Adult admission. Transport, food and optional extras are outside this activity price.
