AdmissionAlleyways and Courtyards of London Tour
* This location is closed until further notice *
**Advance bookings only - All tours must be booked 12 hours in advance and are subject to availability. Please book your 2FOR1 advanced tickets via 'BUY ONLINE'**
This tour takes you along some of the narrow and winding back streets of London in the search for unusual and forgotten pieces of London’s history. Discover a piece of the original stone London Bridge, find out which part of Roman London lies inside a barber shop, discover the location of our first coffee house and locate some atmospheric old pubs tucked away out of sight.
Many of these locations are rarely visited by Londoners, let alone tourists, and you’ll be bowled over by how magical they are. From the extraordinary Leadenhall Market, to the alleyways of Cornhill and the bombed out remains of a church this tour will leave you keen to explore the area further.
Along the way we’ll also stand in the middle of a modern architect’s heaven – with the Gherkin, Cheesegrater, Walkie Talkie and Lloyd’s building all looming over a 16th century church. One of the greatest views in London.
If you have seen the major sites and want to dig further, and have an inquisitive eye for the unusual then this tour is for you!
Admission: £15.00

Closed 25 - 26 December.

*Advanced booking only for viewing platform and slide*
Get your blood pumping and your adrenaline jumping on The Slide, a hair-raising thrill ride that’s not for the feint-hearted. Brave the gentle twists, tight turns and thrilling drops of the world’s tallest and longest tunnel slide as it weaves its way through the iconic red steel frame of the UK’s most exciting viewing platform, the ArcelorMittal Orbit.
Explore tranquil skyline views of up to 20 miles across London before challenging your friends and family to take on the 40 second descent of the 178m long tunnel slide. With light and dark sections, you’ll catch glimpses of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the London skyline before being plunged into darkness where you’ll be left guessing which way you’ll drop next. And with speeds of up to 15mph, 12 twists and turns and a devilish corkscrew at the end named ‘the bettfeder’ – bedspring in German – you’ll be screaming for more by the time you get to the bottom.
The Slide is not just an exhilarating experience; it is also an exciting and interactive art installation. Created by German artist Carsten Höller at the invitation of the ArcelorMittal Orbit’s designer, Sir Anish Kapoor, The Slide is a unique collaboration between two of the world’s most renowned contemporary artists.
