While in East London and Stratford, I walked a sculpture path called The Line, which follows the Lea River and features large and small scale sculptures and parks. The north end features Anish Kapoor's "ArcelorMittal Orbit," which is Britain's tallest sculpture (subject to change).
The sculpture itself features the world's longest tube slide for humans, designed by sculptor Carsten Höller. I was interested in riding the slide, but didn't want to wait for an open time slot. From the viewing platform up top, it looks like something from a festive nightmare. I asked a woman who rode it if it was fun, and she said, "Yes, it was TERRIFYING." Which... isn't entirely an endorsement?
I took many photos of the sculptures along the route, but here is an amazing roof on an old mill, local graffiti, plus one sculpture (the tower), which all linger in my mind.
