ArcelorMittal Orbit
The ArcelorMittal Orbit is probably the most enjoyable way to take in 20-mile-wide views of London. At 114.5 metres high, not only is this striking construction the UK's tallest sculpture, it’s also the world's longest slide! Now I don’t know about you, but that’s pretty impressive. The ArcelorMittal Orbit is undoubtedly one of London's most iconic and noticeable landmarks. Set in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this breath-taking sculpture was a visual symbol for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games and plays a huge part in the legacy of London 2012. With a looping structure that features twists and a bold red design, it embodies a unique, innovative and eccentric style that is unmistakably British. This impressive masterpiece by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond was constructed from enough steel to make over 250 London buses and 60% of which was recycled, so not only is it a wonder to marvel at it, it’s also eco-friendly. Now hop on a train and head to Stratford Station for the experience of a lifetime.
