The Experience

Have you got what it takes to take on the Helix?

Feel the rush of adrenaline as you slip, slide and zoom down the 178m long slide, the longest tunnel slide in the world! 

Located on the iconic ArcelorMittal Orbit sculpture in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this unique adventure experience will have you reaching speeds of up to 15mph as you loop around (12 times!) the 76m tall structure. It's a journey you won't forget in a hurry!

Arriving at the Helix, you'll take the lift up 76m to the viewing platform where you'll enjoy stunning panoramic views of London. See how many famous landmarks you can spot. You can see up to 20 miles into the distance so chances are you'll see all of London's iconic buildings, such as Canary Wharf, The O2, The Gherkin, The Shard, The Walkie Talkie, St Paul’s Cathedral, Alexandra Palace and Wembley Stadium.

When it's your turn, it's time to collect your mat and make your way down the helix in the most exciting way possible, a thrilling 40 second trip!

This experience is suitable for ages 8 upwards and would make the perfect gift of the adventurer in your life so why not treat them to a fantastic adventure experience at Zip World London ArcelorMittal Orbit.

The ArcelorMittal Orbit
This famous structure sits in the heart of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and is home to Zip World London's Helix slide and the ArcelorMittal Orbit 360 viewing platform. Designed by sculptor Sir Anish Kapoor and engineer Cecil Balmond, it originally opened in 2012 alongside the London Olympic and Paralympic Games, and is made of 35,000 bolts and enough steel to make 265 double-decker busses.
