ArcelorMittal Orbit

The ArcelorMittal Orbit is a 114.5 metre (376 feet) tall sculpture and observation tower in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London.

It is intended to be a permanent lasting legacy of London's hosting of the 2012 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.

It was closed after the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, while the South Plaza area of the Park underwent reconstruction for its long-term legacy use as a public outdoor space. It re-opened to the public on 5 April 2014.


Orbit was designed by Turner-Prize winning artist Sir Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond of engineering Group Arup.
