London’s new Marble Arch Mound closes after only six months Posted by Taylah Strauss on 10 January 2022 London’s newest tourist attraction – the Marble Arch Mound – closed its doors after a mere six months since its launch on 9 January 2022. Situated on the corner of Hyde Park and Oxford Street, the structure, which cost an estimated £6 million, was meant to epitomise a smarter, greener future, boasting unique views of London, with a light exhibition inside, according to CNN. The Mound quickly rose to fame, though not for the reasons its creators might have envisioned. Described as ‘incredibly underwhelming’ and offering ‘mediocre’ views of London at best, the structure became a laughing stock on social media platforms. What’s more, scaffolding and equipment used to build the structure was still on site. After it was announced that the structure would be shut down, some visited the now-infamous attraction one last time, but one visitor said it was the ‘worst experience in London they’ve ever had.’ HAVE A LOOK: Picture: Duncan C/Flickr Commons ALSO READ These countries rank highest for combining work and pleasure Related Posts Cape Town’s sustainability: Leading the way in environmental initiatives 1 June 2023 As National Environmental Month commences in South Africa, Cape Town stands proudly at the forefront... read more Kapama to host Safari Guide of the Year Awards 2023 1 June 2023 Kapama Private Game Reserve near Hoedspruit will host this year’s Safari Guide of the Year... read more Blood Lions relaunches for public viewing on YouTube 1 June 2023 Award-winning documentary feature film Blood Lions has been relaunched on YouTube for public viewing, creating... read more PREV ARTICLE NEXT ARTICLE
