The UK’s highest roof stroll is opening subsequent 12 months – and it is 130 metres above sea degree
The UK’s highest roof walk is set to open next year – and it reaches an impressive 130 metres above sea level.
Summit, London’s newest rooftop adventure, and the highest roof walk in the UK, opens at Alexandra Palace on Saturday, February 14, 2026.
It’s also the only palace you can literally walk over.
The fully guided experience invites visitors to scale the roof of Ally Pally and take in uninterrupted panoramic views, stretching 25 miles across the city.
The hour-long journey leads climbers to the famous Angel of Plenty statue, standing 130 metres above the City of London, before opening out to a 360-degree view of the capital.
With specialist guides leading the way, guests will be able to step out onto the rooftop and follow a purpose-built route taking in landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard and Canary Wharf.
It’s created by Wire & Sky, the experts behind the Dare Skywalk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the Cutty Sark rig climb and Liverpool’s Anfield Abseil.
Andy Broad, managing director of Wire & Sky, said: ‘We’re thrilled to bring Wire & Sky rooftop adventures to Alexandra Palace – an iconic London landmark with history, entertainment and incredible views.

‘With Summit Ally Pally, we’re offering a completely new way to experience the building and the city’s skyline.
‘This will be one of London’s most exciting attractions, combining heritage with adventure.
‘We’ve worked closely with the Alexandra Palace team to ensure it fits seamlessly -and we can’t wait to welcome our first climbers.’
Summit offers three standard climb types, giving visitors the chance to choose the atmosphere that suits them best.
Daytime climbs will offer wide-open views across the capital.
Meanwhile, sunset climbs are perfectly timed for golden hour skies and ‘London Lights Climbs’ provide a dazzling panorama as the city glows after dark.
There will also be options for group climbs, great for team building, corporate days out or charity fundraisers, private climbs and educational climbs, where school and youth groups can enjoy Summit, with bespoke tours around their requirements.
Tickets go on sale today at summitallypally.co.uk. Prices start from £22 and the experience is open to ages eight and up.
You can go on your own, or even organise a group event to take on the climb
Under-18s must be accompanied by an adult and there is a minimum height restriction of 1.2 metres.
Lucy Fenner, commercial director at Alexandra Palace, said: ‘For more than 150 years, Ally Pally has been the People’s Palace, a place where everyone can come to experience something truly special, and we’re thrilled to add Summit to that legacy.
‘This new rooftop adventure, the highest roof walk in the UK, offers a completely new perspective on the Palace, with stunning panoramic views across London.
Summit is an exciting and significant addition to our year-round destination, set to attract new visitors from further afield, while offering even more reasons to spend time at Alexandra Park and Palace.
‘And of course, not only is Summit the highest, we’re also the only palace you can actually walk over!’
