Many people may have visited the observation deck at Taipei 101, or have taken photos from observation decks around the world while traveling abroad.According to a report on Lonely Planet’s website,the world’s newest observation deck opened in the UK in August 2016. While the view might be a secondary highlight, what leaves a lasting impression is that it’s the slimmest observation deck in the world.

Located in the town of Brighton, UK, this attraction operated by the British Airways Group — the British Airways i360 — stands 162 meters tall, making it the world’s highest moving observation deck. It is only 3.8 meters wide. The entire platform can accommodate 200 people at a time, and as the deck rotates, visitors can enjoy views of the English Channel stretching for miles.
