<\/p>\n‘I love a London adventure, so crossing Westminster Bridge to find a new-to-me park, for Europe\u2019s longest and fastest zipwire is just up my street. Archbishop\u2018s Park in Lambeth is a lovely leafy haven, but for Summer 2018 it has a Zip Now tower at either end and wires between.<\/p>\n
My kids and I were very excited as we approached, looking up to see people scream for joy as they zip across the sky!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The staff were very friendly and impeccably safety conscious. I definitely felt in safe hands as I put on the safety gear and followed instructions. They have free lockers for valuables but you can also borrow a bum bag to keep your phone in, to capture the views up top (although, rightly so, there are strict rules about not dangling over edges with phone in hand!)<\/p>\n

We climbed to the top of the tower and waited briefly, nervously for our turn to be clipped into place. I\u2019m actually pretty scared of heights and get a weird nauseous feeling in my shins. Just me?? But on instruction, stepped off the platform and wheeeeeeeeeee!!! My daughter and I flew through the air, until the slightly abrupt stop at the end.<\/p>\n
For \u00a310 extra you can opt for the Mega Drop – at the destination tower, instead of walking the steps down like any normal person would, you get hooked up to a new rope contraption thingy, and step off a platform into thin air, descending to the ground in style…(or not). I didn\u2019t do this bit but my daughter did because she\u2019s fearless! She said it was a lot scarier than the zip but good fun. The safety ropes take you down at a controlled speed, to the crash mat below.<\/p>\n
The whole experience ticks all my boxes of fun, exciting and unusual things to do with the kids in the holidays. Especially in this gorgeous weather.<\/p>\n
Thanks ZipNow!’<\/p>\n
