About the event
St John’s Hospice is working with Big Bang Promotions to bring you a truly unforgettable experience in the heart of London, the Senate House Abseil!
The iconic Senate House stands 200ft tall in the heart of Bloomsbury. You may recognise it from major films such as Batman, Fast and Furious and James Bond. It is set to be a challenge you won't forget and what’s more, as part of Team St John’s you will be helping people in your community to live well for longer.
Why not gather your friends, family or colleagues and take on the abseil as part of a group? We're even offering a special discount on the registration fee for groups of five, giving you one place free. Please ensure you and all participants in your group have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions before signing up to this event.

"I wanted to abseil to raise funds for St John’s Hospice. Supporting families is at the heart of what this unique place does best. They looked after my dear friend Bernie with extraordinary care and compassion, making her final days comfortable and peaceful."
