London's Future Forest has been infused with numerous activities and happenings to transform the Westfield London shopping center into a multi-sensory experience.
With a theme of urban reforestation, the indoor forest features a tree circus, a fruit-flavored cloud, electricity-producing plants, and most notably, a 40-meter long zipline. The line is suspended 5.3 meters above the center's floor, requiring visitors to climb to the top of a leafy tree house prior to take off. The exciting experience aims to incite a sense of curiosity and wonderment, all while reminding visitors of the important role nature can play in our everyday lives.
The pop-up forest, which will be around until the end of the month, offers an escape within a busy metropolitan area, urging consumers to rethink environmental consciousness and the dwindling relationship between nature and the city.
