Britain's largest public art sculpture with observation platforms and a tunnel slide.
Olympic Park & Mill Meads
About
A 114.5-metre sculpture and observation tower in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park designed by artist Anish Kapoor and engineer Cecil Balmond. It was created as a lasting legacy of the 2012 Olympic Games and features two observation platforms overlooking the Olympic Park, along with a 178-metre tunnel slide.
The 178-metre slide is thrilling for children aged 10+. The observation platforms give proper views over Olympic Park, but the climb up can feel long. The slide ride down takes about 40 seconds and is the real draw. Not suitable for very young children or those unsure about heights.
