Only with the support of people like you are we able to save lives through pioneering research, patient care, campaigning for change and providing vital information.

British Heart Foundation Charity Tandem Skydive

Think how amazing it would be. Close your eyes and imagine standing at an open doorway 10,000 feet from the ground. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you leap into a free fall at over 120mph! Then the canopy opens and you glide through the sky, absorbing the tranquil atmosphere, and knowing you're supporting a worthy cause at the same time.

Tandem Skydive
A 'Tandem Skydive' is so called because you freefall through the air harnessed to a professional instructor.

What's stopping you?

Too scared? You will be jumping with a trained professional, so don't be.

Feel too old? One lady jumped at the age of 85, so that's no excuse!

Too unfit? Almost anyone can take part, and we promise you will have the experience of a lifetime!

Think you can't fundraise? We have hundreds of ideas to help you reach the target, and we'll support you every step of the way.

Share the fear and increase the fun whilst raising funds to keep vulnerable hearts beating.

FUEL Surcharge

Due to the current fuel price increases (aviation fuel), several drop zones are now making a surcharge of up to £30 per person, should this be the case at your selected location the London Parachute School will contact you and advise you of this prior to processing your booking. If you choose to jump at a drop zone that has added a fuel surcharge then you will have to raise that extra amount in addition to the £400 minimum amount to jump, eg if the drop zone you choose has added a fuel surcharge of £15 then you will need to raise a minimum of £415

The Tandem Course
This course gives you the opportunity to experience the thrill of freefall on your first jump from £220. The training for the tandem jump is in the form of a briefing from your instructor which takes about half an hour. You will jump from up to 13,500 feet attached to your instructor using a specially designed dual harness. The instructor controls the freefall, parachute opening and landing, leaving you free to enjoy the view and the sensation of freefall. You will be able to help the instructor to steer the parachute after opening. more

The Static Line RAPS Course
This course uses the most up-to-date equipment in the world of parachuting. The square canopies used are highly manoeuvrable and are the same type used by many experienced jumpers, and is the first step in the BPA Category System. The parachute is opened automatically when you exit the aircraft, are fun to fly, and can give you very light landings.Your jump will be from 3,500 feet giving you plenty of time to have fun and enjoy the view. more

The AFF Course
The AFF jump is for you if you're looking to experience the thrill of skydiving with instructors at your side--not attached to you, after 6 hours of ground instruction, you're in control of the skydive. The instruction is much more detailed than a Tandem Skydive because you're in charge. You have two instructors who exit the airplane with you, fly by your side to coach you (using hand signals you learned during your training), and assist you if necessary during your nearly one minute of freefall. more

The Indoor Skydive
On your first visit you will be taken into a classroom for your briefing by one of our experienced instructors. This will include watching a short video and learning the safety procedures whilst in the tunnel. You will then progress to the kit up area where you will be given your helmet, goggles, ear plugs, flight suit and if required, training shoes. Your group will then go through to the tunnel ante-chamber where you will watch the people in the previous group finish their session. Then, when it becomes your turn to fly you take your place in the doorway. The instructor will stand in front of you and, when it is time, give you the signal to lean forward into the airflow. The instructor will take hold of your flight suit and hold onto you. YOU ARE NOW FLYING! . more
