I think our biggest challenge is that we are still quite new – only 3 years old.

An attraction like yours must generate some fantastic content for use in social campaigns. What type of content is most popular?

Our most popular content are our views, without any doubt we have such amazing images of London’s skyline, day, sunset and evening images or unique skyline moments. Instagram is our most beautiful channel where wonderful images are posted from our Instagrammers. I invite you to take a look. IT is so inspiring.
