    Descend the World's Longest Tunnel Slide Right in the Heart of London

    London is full of adrenaline junkies. And if you're one of them, there's a certain pilgrimage you simply must make.

    Located in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, Zip World London is centred around the ArcelorMittal Orbit and includes both a viewing deck and the world's longest tunnel slide experience, with elevated views across the city.

    Let your heart race as you slide down Helix, the world's longest tunnel slide, with the famous London skyline rushing past.

    Or, if you're the long-suffering partner, family or friend of an adrenaline junkie and don't quite wish to descend the world's longest slide, the Zip World London site is also home to the ArcelorMittal Orbit 360, an incredible viewing deck with unbeatable views across the city.

    Spot famous landmarks like Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral and The O2, and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the iconic London 2012 Olympic venues.

    “It's just something a bit different and fun!”
