London's skyline is about to get a thrilling new addition that will change how visitors experience the city forever. The capital is set to welcome Europe's longest urban zipline, sending adrenaline seekers soaring high above Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park at speeds of up to 35mph.
A Bird's Eye View of London's Iconic Landmarks
This groundbreaking attraction isn't just about the thrill - it's about the view. As participants launch from a 35-metre high platform, they'll be treated to unparalleled panoramic vistas of London's most famous landmarks. The London Eye, The Shard, and Canary Wharf will all form part of the breathtaking backdrop during the 700-metre flight.
More Than Just a Quick Thrill
What sets this experience apart is its duration. Unlike typical ziplines that are over in seconds, this adventure offers nearly a minute of flight time, allowing plenty of opportunity to take in the spectacular surroundings. The experience begins at the ArcelorMittal Orbit tower, itself an iconic structure from the 2012 London Olympics, now finding exciting new purpose.
Accessibility and Family Appeal
The operators have designed the experience to be inclusive, welcoming adventurers from age 8 upwards. With a weight limit accommodating most family members, this promises to be a unique bonding experience that creates lasting memories against the backdrop of one of London's most celebrated regeneration success stories.
Boosting London's Tourism Economy
This ambitious project represents a significant investment in London's visitor economy, creating new jobs and attracting thrill-seekers from across the UK and beyond. It demonstrates how Olympic legacy venues can continue to evolve and surprise visitors years after the games have ended.
Scheduled to open in the coming months, this zipline promises to become one of London's must-do experiences, combining world-class engineering with unforgettable views of the capital.
