ArcelorMittal Orbit Abseil

The ArcelorMittal Orbit Abseil planned for 17 May has now been cancelled in response to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak in the UK. We are now looking into rescheduling this event for a later date and will be in touch to update registered participants as soon as possible. Thank you for your support and understanding. 

About the event

At 114.5 metres tall, the ArcelorMittal Orbit is the UK’s tallest sculpture. As you abseil down the tower you will see a panorama of famous London sights. Enjoy a unique view of iconic buildings such as The Shard, Big Ben, The Gherkin, St Paul’s Cathedral, Canary Wharf and Wembley Stadium. 

Before your abseil you will have a comprehensive briefing from professional instructors. They will provide all the specialist equipment you need to complete your challenge.
