The observation tower i360 is also well known as former the West Pier, which was the first pier to be Grade I listed in Britain since opened in 1866. The pier was closed in 1975 due to be filed for bankruptcy, and subsequently fell into disrepair. The structured demolition took place in 2010 to make way for i360.

The pod flights depart every 30 minutes with rides lasting approximately 20-25 minutes. You can enjoy the fireworks display, yoga, Sky dining or meeting up with Santa depending on the seasons.
