Genuinely exciting if you want the skydiving hit without jumping out of a plane, but the upselling and patchy photos are a bit cheeky.

The long read worth saving for nap time

What’s it actually like?

iFLY London is indoor skydiving at The O2: a vertical wind tunnel where you get the sensation of free-fall without jumping from a plane. The reviews suggest it works especially well for first-timers, nervous flyers, and older children or teens who want something properly different rather than another soft-play session. The big win here is the coaching. Reviewers keep mentioning friendly, patient instructors who explain things clearly and make people feel safe, confident and actually capable of improving. It also sounds like a strong birthday option, with families saying the staff were kind, organised and good with kids. For anyone after a memorable one-off, it seems to deliver the adrenaline. What’s less charming is the extras. One parent flagged aggressive upselling of additional flights and high flights, and the automated photos were described as blurry and disappointing. So yes, the experience itself sounds excellent, but you should go in expecting a polished thrill ride with a few commercial annoyances attached.
