A 700ft zipline is now open in central London
Returning to the capital this summer, a 700ft long zipwire promises a white-knuckle urban adventure like no other.
After welcoming 75,000 customers last year, a 225m-long zip line is returning to the capital between June and September 15 for a third consecutive year.
Bigger and better than ever, this time around it boasts an additional line for a fourth rider, allowing you to race your friends on the fastest zipline in London, reaching breakneck speeds of up to 50km/h.
If you haven’t ziplined before, Zip Now is the perfect opportunity to step outside your comfort zone and conquer your fears without even leaving the city. Whether you're a tourist or a native, it's a perfect excuse for a dose of urban adventure.
Riders can drink in views of major landmarks including the London Eye

Situated a stone's throw from the London Eye in Archbishop’s Park, flyers launch themselves off a 35m-high platform (the equivalent of 9 double decker buses) before rocketing across the skyline. Seriously, who needs to stand behind extra thick glass in The Shard this summer, or even fork out for the London Eye itself, when this adventure site gives you the chance to enjoy up-close views of the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben?
What's more, instead of using the stairs, riders can use a free-fall Mega Drop to return to land, completing their flight in true Hollywood stunt-person style.
It's not cheap – rides cost £30 per person and no, you can't use your Oyster card – but rest assured when it comes to enjoying new experiences in London, this one is hard to beat.
