British Airways i360 is a 162 m observation tower built in 2016, positioned at the landward end of the remains of the West Pier. Some say it's Brighton's new vertical pier. From the fully enclosed viewing pod, visitors gently ascend for a 25 min flight, with 360-degree views across Brighton, the South Downs and the English Channel, whilst enjoying a drink or some Nyetimber English sparking wine from the on board Sky Bar.
