A bit strange and something I would not pay to do, but you have to hand it to them when it comes to original ideas!

    Just a sneaky way to watch a Charlton home game without paying to come in. IMO

    Seems a bit pointless tbh, What's to see up there? You'll get better view for free from Greenwich Park.

    Won't be cheap at £20 which is a guess based on London eye walk up ticket prices and I wonder if the new cable car across the Thames won't give an even better view ? All in all I think both ideas are great and can only add to any visitors experience. No idea how much the cable car is likely to cost but I would have thought a return ticket would be less than £20 ?

    Lots of this happening now, CN Tower does a walk round outside for a few minutes for £120 thing. Reckon the 02 version will be minimum £50 per person. It's not for locals, it's part of the tourist fleecing circus that 2012 will be.  



    Agree. I think it's a good thing.

    Great to see how they have turned an potential white elephant into the billion £ venue that it currently is.

    Terrified of heights so even if it was 20p I wouldn't do it!

    Don't see how it can be seen as a bad thing though. Agree with Rodney re: a potential White Elephant being turned into something great.

    Did the one over the Sydney Harbour Bridge at 30 quid (I think), cant see the views comparing too much ; ). But as said, "probably there to catch the tourists"

    Nevermind about seeing the tate & lyle building, can you imagine those poor sods stuck up there, down wind of the place? they'll be painting the top of the dome pea-green with traces of carrot. :-)

    The cable car will be part of the Oyster card arrangements so cheaper and won't have to walk
