We opened to the public in the late eighties and are housed inside an old pipe engineering works, which is located within Mile End Park, a five-minute walk from Mile End Tube Station - it has grown to the current size, sporting approx. 16,000 sq. ft (1500 sq. m) of climbing surface.

We cater for the complete novice through to the seasoned professional offering a range of courses on and off site. The centre is widely used by other development charities, groups, schools and recreational users.

There is extensive "Bouldering" at all levels, Top-Roped and Lead Climbing as well as more advanced Training areas - "The Board Room", and our famous "Monkey House".

The relaxed and informal social atmosphere created by the staff, regular customers and clubs; in addition to the services available make it - "the place to be climbing in London".

The Mile End Climbing Wall is maintained by the registered charity 'DEVELOPMENT through CHALLENGE' - promoting personal development through challenging physical activity, especially to the young person.
