⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) I visited the ArcelorMittal Orbit on the afternoon of November 2nd, and it was absolutely amazing! The view from the top is breathtaking — honestly one of the best places to visit in London for photographers. The environment was spotless, and even the background music was so tasteful that it made the whole experience feel relaxing and elegant. I ended up staying until they closed because I just didn’t want to leave! The staff were all incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. I’ll definitely be coming back next time with my friends — highly recommended!

I had an amazing experience at Helix Zip World London. The whole attraction looks incredible and is really well put together. You can choose to walk up to the top or take the lift, which is great for different levels of comfort. The staff were friendly, helpful and easy to talk to, which made everything feel relaxed and safe. There are lockers available too, so you can store your things and even film your experience without worrying about your belongings. Overall, it’s a brilliant activity and definitely worth doing. I’d highly recommend it to anyone visiting London – I’d happily go again!

Great experience to do. Wasn't very busy when we attended, but that could have been down to the lift not working. Staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend doing. We stayed near Westfield shopping centre so was about a 15 minute walk.

There was no wait for the slide, the actual experience is self service you walk into the area with the slide and you watch a video that is placed above some boxes telling you to put on your head and arm protection then walk over to the slide where staff put down a mat for you and explain you have to push yourself down. The slide is really fast and definitely an adrenaline rush. The view from the top is beautiful, you can take the stairs up or down if you're brave enough and will get a view during your journey. Locker tokens are provided free of charge and are multi use so can go back and leave/take things out when you want. Definitely recommend.

Wow that was exciting. Unfortunately the lift didn’t work when I was there so I had to walk up but it put an extra edge on the experience in my opinion. The slide was fantastic I really enjoyed it
