Free Entry to The Orbit at the Olympic Park

Ascend London's newest monument, the Orbit, for spectacular views over London and explore the Olympic Park which hosted the 2012 Olympic Games 

The ‘Orbit,’ London’s impressive spiralling monument at the heart of the Olympic Park, has been an anticipated attraction since its debut at the 2012 Games.

Climb the steps to the two viewing platforms (at 76 and 80m high) and overlook the Olympic tracks where world records were set – and broken – and where top athletes drew blood, sweat and tears. The Orbit is the perfect attraction to get an exclusive insight into the iconic sporting structure and its nail-biting history.

The Olympic Park covers an impressive 587 acres and hosted London’s 2012 Games with huge success. Home to the Olympic Stadium, VeloPark and Hockey and Tennis Centre, as well as the iconic Olympic rings, there are plenty of photo opportunities on the ground as well as up high.

The Orbit gets its name from its unique ‘orbital’ looping structure and is the creation of the contemporary artist Sir Anish Kapoor, engineer Cecil Balmond and the steel company, ArcelorMittal.
