Title: London bouldering wall
Post by: sxrxg on June 05, 2014, 11:48:17 am
Going to have some time to kill before getting the train back north from euston and would like to fit a session in. Can any London people give me a heads up as to the best wall to head to? Was thinking either vauxwall or the biscuit factory.

Arch / Biscuit Factory is good, but is like climbing in a crowded sauna in the evenings.  Vauxwall is not actually that great but okay is you're near it.

If you're talking right now go to The Arch.  I am...

Unfortunately my visit will be in the evening. With your description of the arch being a sauna at this time I may give it a miss and head to vauxwall. Thanks for your help.

The Castle is pretty decent for bouldering nowadays, they've expanded it recently and the outdoor boulders are very pleasant on a summer evening. Also really easy to get back to euston from there

I agree with mattg - Castle has plenty of good bouldering (over four floors now) and is five stops from Euston on the tube.

Afterwards you can nip into 'Fire' for a refreshing drink and a relaxing atmosphere  ;D

Stay north, go to the Castle.
