SEEING LONDON FROM A DIFFERENT VIEW

What's the best building you've been up to? One of mine was going up the Twin Towers in Malaysia, the view was stunning! In London, you can see the skyline from so many amazing buildings including The Shard, The Gerkin and The Heron Tower.

Another interesting landmark is the The ArcelorMittal Orbit, which was built to mark the legacy of the 2012 Olympic. You can go up the spiral sculpture and check out the London skyline 20 miles away. My friend invited me along to explore the Orbit, which is the UK's tallest landmark at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, we were lucky too with the clear skies. Misty London wouldn't of looked so good high up!

We took the lift up 80 meters and took in the panoramic views, it was freezing on the outside deck but worth it for a few minutes!

 

It was such a clear, bright and beautiful day, perfect weather to spot London's landmarks.

Concave mirrors to see yourself upside down!

 

It was also the Year of the Bus Sculpture weekend, so we got the chance to see 60 New Routemaster buses on display. They've all been designed by well known artists and we got to see them before they get auctioned off for charity. They'll be there until the 3rd February if you want to pop down and have a look. Here are some of my favourites designs!

The ArcelorMittal Orbit is open Mon-Sun 10-4pm, you can buy tickets in advance on line for £11.95. It's also a short walk from Westfields shopping centre, so you can do some shopping afterwards!

What's the tallest building you been on?
