ArcelorMittal Orbit 1138
ArcelorMittal Orbit Tower, London. Part sculpture, part fairground ride, part Boris vanity project, the orbit tower at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park continues to divide opinion. Opened in 2012 and designed by Anish Kapoor & Cecil Balmond, the tower cost £22.7million to build, and lost £500k over 2019 (£10,000 per week), and is unlikely ever to recoup its costs.
