What: Race to the top of The Gherkin and raise money for ChildLine
When: Sunday 4 March 2012
Where: 30 St Mary Axe, aka ‘The Gherkin’, London, EC3A 8EP
Race to the top of one of London’s most iconic buildings with friends, family or colleagues and know that every step you take will help ChildLine be there for children in distress or danger.
Climb to the summit with hundreds of fellow gherkineers, and enjoy a glass of bubbly and breathtaking views at the exclusive 40/30 bar. Or fancy the views without the sweat? Enjoy a more leisurely route to the top with a Champagne Lift Pass.
Special thanks to 30 St Mary Axe and Searcys for making this possible for all of our Gherkineers.
