this might seem a strange post,
but as it is in the east of London, in
the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park I thought I would mention it, there is a striking steel sculpture, designed by Sir Anish Kapoor for the 2012
Games, it was a central part of London's Olympic
legacy, and in the park,
forged
from 2000 tons of recycled metal, it is a viewing platform,
abseiling experience, and epic tunnel slide ArcelorMittalOrbit, it is the world's longest tunnel slide, measuring
178m the slide twists and turns 12 times, including a tight corkscrew section
named the ‘bettfeder’ – after the German word for ‘bedspring.’ the slide ends
with a 50 metre straight run to the ground, all completed in an exhilarating 40-second trip,
did I mention the view? that is sort of OK if there is a lift, but I think I will leave the slide for another day (lifetime).
