The Dare Skywalk — Attraction in London

Spurs Dare to Walk: A Disappointing Descent from Hype My partner and I are lifelong Tottenham supporters, so when we heard about the "Dare to Walk" experience, our excitement was palpable. The marketing for the event promised a thrilling, sky-high adventure, a chance to see our beloved stadium from a truly unique and breathtaking perspective. We booked the very first session of the day, hoping to avoid the crowds and enjoy a peaceful morning climb. Unfortunately, the experience, while not without its moments, fell well short of the considerable hype and left us feeling quite underwhelmed.

From the outset, the anticipation was a huge part of the build-up. The staff emphasised the gravity of the safety precautions, outfitting us in harnesses and special equipment, which naturally made us feel like we were about to embark on a genuinely daring and high-altitude escapade. However, this level of preparation felt entirely disproportionate to the reality of the climb. We were at the top of the stadium in what felt like less than five minutes. The "dare" to walk was, in actuality, a quick, brisk stroll that ascended to a height that felt surprisingly low. It was more akin to the height of a multi-story car park than a towering stadium, which was a significant letdown, especially considering the grandiosity of the pitch below.

The biggest disappointment was the sense of being rushed. After all the buildup and the quick ascent, we were looking forward to a moment to soak in the panoramic views of London. The vista was indeed impressive—you get a great perspective of the city and the surrounding areas—but our time at the top felt severely limited. The guides, while friendly, were constantly reminding us to move along, and it became clear that we were simply on a conveyor belt, being hurried off the roof to make room for the next group. This lack of time to pause, reflect, and take in the moment completely stripped the experience of its potential.

To make matters worse, there was the final sting in the tail: the £9 charge to carry your phone. While I understand the need to secure personal items during such an activity, the solution was a laughably cheap, clear plastic case that felt like it was purchased in bulk from a discount website. It felt like a blatant money grab for a product that was of extremely low quality, a sentiment confirmed when the case started to fall apart almost immediately. For an experience that is already priced at a premium, this felt like an unnecessary and insulting add-on.

Ultimately, the Spurs Dare to Walk experience feels like a classic case of over-promise and under-delivery. The anticipation and safety protocols created a false sense of a major challenge, only to be followed by a short, unexciting, and rushed walk. When you factor in the additional cost for the flimsy phone case, the overall value for money is incredibly poor. If you are looking for a genuine, thrilling, and unhurried high-altitude experience in London, I would wholeheartedly recommend the O2 Priority walk instead. It offers a much more exciting and worthwhile climb that doesn't leave you feeling like you've been rushed through a...

SUMMARY: Our journey at The Dare Skywalk was an absolute triumph. From Josie's magnetic energy to the breathtaking view, the seamless check-in process, the safety measures that put any concerns to rest, and the heart-pounding adventure of The Edge, this experience is one that should be on the top of everyone's bucket list. If you're seeking an adrenaline rush, a unique perspective of London, and memories to last a lifetime, look no further than The Dare Skywalk. A resounding 10/10 recommendation – an adventure that's not to be missed!

*For safety: No phones allowed except for the safe area - so limited videos and photos and paid photos (£35 for 4 and digital photos).

*Please like it this review helped. Thanks! :) FURTHER DETAILS: I recently had the most exhilarating and unforgettable experience at The Dare Skywalk, nestled within the iconic Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the heart of London. I was completely captivated by the charisma and boundless energy of our guide, Josie, even when we are the last tour of the day. Her infectious enthusiasm created an atmosphere of positivity that instantly melted away any apprehensions.

If you find yourself in London, The Dare Skywalk is an absolute must-do. Even though we hadn't prebooked and had to rely on walk-ins due to our London Pass booking, the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. The check-in process was a breeze (we arrived 19:00 for 19:30 slots).

The staff's commitment to safety was truly commendable and put my mind at ease, enabling me to focus solely on the incredible experience.

Suspended high above the ground, I was treated to an awe-inspiring panorama of London's stunning skyline. Despite the slightly overcast skies, the view from The Dare Skywalk was still utterly worth it. The juxtaposition of London's iconic landmarks against the serene gray backdrop added an element of intrigue that made the experience all the more memorable.

We decided to take on The Edge experience as well. For just £18 per person, we were able to step to the very edge of the platform. Descending was surprisingly comfortable, but the real adrenaline surge came from taking the leap to go front first – an exhilaration that I won't soon forget.

As an extra touch, I took the initiative to go first and capture videos of my fellow adventurers during the heart-pounding moments. It would be a fantastic enhancement for the future if The Dare Skywalk could offer to bring down phones prior to the experience, enabling both thrilling videos from above and unique perspectives from the staff...

I know it's a low review but I have my good reasons.

First things first, unbelievable stadium. It's big, beautiful, amazing, breath taking to see. Looks unreal for a matchday experience.

The tour however is pathetic.

First of all you have to go through metal detectors. I know, it's London.

You walk into the club shop and go round to the tills. They give you headphones and a tablet. 🤦‍♂️. That's the first major red flag.

They make you sit down on uncomfortable seating and show you the ultimate cheesey movie that's meant to get you hyped. I laughed. They then brag about having "Europe's largest club shop". That should not be a brag!

After that they take you through a corridor with a list of their players. You then walk into a huge open plan room with 5 lonely looking trophies on display. It's really doesn't help the "Spurs win nothing" stereotype.

You are then free to walk around and use your tablet and headphones. I hardly used them. Boring and no interaction with fans of the club or the staff.

The whole thing feels like all they want it your money. Trying to squeeze every last bit out of you to pay off this stadium.

No tour guide to tell you why he/she loves the club. The clubs history or the area. It feels way too franchised. I was literally bored walking around.

If you want to feel like you're learning about the history of a club and the area. Don't bother. Just go to Manchester (yea, that includes city too) or the North East.

You get tours guides in Manchester and the NE showing you everything and talking to you like a person and not just a customer. You learn about a club and the stadium.

At Spurs, you're there to spend...
