Climb up the tallest observation tower in London to experience the avant-garde architectural design and height

#modernarchitecture #100waystotravel #londonattractions #uktravel The ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower located in #LondonOlympicPark is a tall modern building built for the 2012 London Olympics. It is surrounded by a small river and the scenery is very pleasant. Designed by British artist Anish Kapoor and architect Adrian Smith, the tallest #observationtower at the London Olympics features a unique metal sculpture that represents a fusion of modern architecture and art, complementing the adjacent #LondonOlympicStadium. Inspired by movement and dynamism, ArcelorMittal Orbit is shaped like a giant sub-resin structure with a visually surprising twisted form that symbolizes the fusion between nature and technology. This tower presents a flowing curve, breaking through the straight line aesthetics of traditional architecture, and embodies the characteristics of contemporary art and the aesthetics of industrial design🤩🤩 The #ArcelorMittalOrbit tower is approximately 114 meters tall and uses steel and other lightweight materials, which gives the structure both stability and visual lightness, while the exterior also uses eye-catching colors, enhancing #London's image as a city of innovation and art, allowing visitors to experience the ultra-avant-garde architectural design and height of London's largest public art. ArcelorMittal Orbit has a #panoramicobservatory with a 360-degree view of London. Outside the observatory, there is a walking tour with pictures and texts introducing London's history, culture and #famousattractions. On a clear day, the view is wide enough to take in the #Londonskyline within a radius of about 20 miles. In addition to art exhibitions and interactive displays, the interior also has the world's tallest 🛝 circular tunnel slide, with a total length of 178 meters and 12 bends, allowing visitors to enjoy the thrill of sliding down from 3️⃣8️⃣ floors at high speed; if you like to walk slowly, you can also go down the tower via the 455-step circular staircase. This #modernarchitectureattraction, where you can enjoy the whole city view of London and learn about many #famousattractions, is an indispensable "Olympic Tour" for visiting London! 💡💡💡Trip tips: 💡For safety reasons, passengers who want to ride the slide must be 8 years old or above, over 130cm tall, and weigh no more than 139kg. 💡You can choose to purchase ArcelorMittal Orbit observatory tickets and slide experience tickets separately. 💡Please check the opening days and hours on the official website before planning this trip.
