The Cable Car

The cable car across the River Thames is one of the most exciting additions to London’s infrastructure in recent years, and provides a vital link between the O2 Arena and Excel Exhibition and Conference Centre in London's Docklands.

The scheme comprises a number of distinct elements, the design of which offered the opportunity to create a highly recognisable piece of infrastructure. While the sculpted forms of the towers have the potential to become the iconic feature of the scheme, the stations at either end perform an important function as the gateways denoting the beginning and end of what is a memorable journey.

The design was completed and submitted for planning approval within an extremely tight timescale, and planning permission was granted by all three relevant London boroughs in February 2011. The cable car was opened to the public on 28th June 2012.
