The Nest Climbing

I took my niece here for a session as she absolutely loves bouldering. We had a great induction from Rhiannon - it was really clear and helpful, and gave me (a very new climber) a lot more confidence to get involved. The space itself is great, and the little cafe at the front does delicious coffee. Would highly recommend checking it out!

I decided to give this place a try as it was local. I went as a complete beginner and decided to go for a introduction class with my wife. The class was around £25 each and was worth every penny. We had around 45 mins with instructor Sam who was very enthusiastic and a great teacher! I now come often but not only for climbing but to also use their work space area, I’ve even taken a couple classes they hold there and used their gym. I can’t fault a thing.

I climbed for the first time yesterday. It was so addicting and pleasant that I spent 4.5 hours straight since the induction class! I have never met such nice people here! Like literally everybody is super nice! The staff is so helpful and friendly! They are awesome! The people who come there to climb were also really really helpful. They were spending so much time and energy teaching me, that is why 4.5 hours seemed life minutes and i was not giving up even after peeling off my asking and getting cramps 😄 thank you so much, this was the most memorable experience as it was my dream to climb since a long long time. In my hometown in India, we don't have a single bouldering place. I think I'm oversharing, but I'm just too happy 😊 this is better than literally everything you can do in london! Thank you again!

Avoid Birthday Parties here. This place is the worst place I have ever come across when it comes to family birthday events for young kids. I had my kids 7th Birthday today from 3pm-5pm with 12 kids. The staff were very rude and unwelcoming. They think everyone coming to the place is stupid. A rude purple haired lady called Abby came across very rude on multiple occasions. My message to her is why work in a public place when you can't be polite and friendly.After the event multiple kids told me that Abby said I will make your birthday party miserable if you don't listen. This is unacceptable manner to speak to children and customers. She repeatedly spoke to family friends at the birthday of party as if they are deaf by shouting. The Zak with Long bearded at reception was behaving as if we had committed a crime by being there.We felt unwelcomed. They forget that people like us do them a favour by giving them business. The place is no way ready to deal with family friendly events nor is it safe as it directly connects to the gym, which is also dangerous for kids. Parents are not allowed to watch the wall climbing events despite having paid for the events. You can't walk around other than be in a small confined and cold room The place had lots of dust which was equally unsafe for anyone.

As a bit of a regular here I may be a bit biased. However this is by far my favorite gym in London. It may not be the biggest but the route setting here is great and ultra regular. this means the holds are always clean and you always have a new project. Setting is fun techy climbing with some modern bouldering thrown in. from VB to V8 Enough for the Boulder bro's and the trad dads. The intro course also looks pretty dope.
