Brighton i360
A slender 162-meter observation tower, with a circular glass pod that rises slowly to 138 meters, offering views over the coastline, the South Downs and the Seven Sisters.
The i360 was designed by the team behind the London Eye and opened in 2016. The tower is about 162 meters tall but only about 4 meters in diameter. A circular glass pod holding around 200 people rises slowly to 138 meters. A ride takes 20 to 25 minutes, and the pod has a bar. Passengers get a 360-degree view of the Brighton coast, Hove and the South Downs hills, and on clear days you can look out toward the Isle of Wight. It stands on the shore beside the ruins of the West Pier. Tickets bought online are usually cheaper than at the door. Operating hours and prices are on the official website, and the tower suspends operation in high winds.
