Forums - General - £15 to climb the Big Ben this summer

TomaTito on 05 March 2012


You will need three of these to visit it

The guided tour to the Big Ben has always been free, but that is due to change this July, were visitors will have to pay £15 to climb the 334 spiral steps of the clock tower.

I wonder why they are changing this after 150 years of not charging any one. Is there any special event going on this summer over there?

PAY someone to WALK up 334 stairs? Fuck you. I wouldn't have done it when it was free.

That's free. No guide to pay there.

Need to earn back the money from the Olympics somehow!

@Train wreck & Seece: Forgot about the Olympics. It's normal I guess for these kinds of celebrations, life there is going to get even more expensive during those hectic days.
