London climbers take their sport very seriously possibly because they live in a huge city and there is a dire lack of real proper mountains nearby. But we do have the indoor climbing wall which is a lot better than climbing a real mountain-and can be considered to be  a sport within its own right. It can be used as means of limbering up for the real climb as well.

So popular is the indoor climbing sport that many of  the local sports centres and some on the more well known ones like Crystal Palace National Sports Centre,Brixton Rcreation Centre and Hendon Youth Sports Centre are always busy with people wanting to learn the art of indoor wall climbing. For a fuller list try looking at http://www.ukclimbing.com.

For those wanting to climatise themselves and develop greater altitudinal skills this out-door club Bowles Rock (+441892-665665) is hugely popular.It is situated just outside Tunbridge Wells,the nearest station is Eridge.It has marvellous sandstone ridges-you must be trained climber,must  have your own equipment and be an expert on how to use it.
