About

Rising 162 metres above Brighton’s seafront, the British Airways i360 is one of the city’s most striking modern landmarks and a symbol of its forward‑looking spirit. Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, creators of the London Eye, the tower opened in 2016 and offers visitors a unique “flight” in a futuristic glass pod that glides smoothly to 138 metres. From this height, guests enjoy breathtaking 360‑degree views across Brighton, the South Downs, and the English Channel, with visibility stretching as far as the Isle of Wight on clear days. More than just an observation tower, the i360 hosts special events such as yoga sessions, dining experiences, and private celebrations, while its base is home to the West Beach Bar & Kitchen and a stylish gift shop. Fully accessible and family‑friendly, it has quickly become a must‑see attraction, blending cutting‑edge engineering with the timeless appeal of panoramic views. The British Airways i360 offers a new perspective on Brighton, inviting visitors to see the city, sea, and sky in unforgettable ways.
