It is with great pleasure i bring this news to you that Londonn has now officially joined likes of Eiffel Tower of France, Statue of Liberty of the United States and Sydney opera house of Australia as they unveil The Orbit, the sculpture at the heart of the Olympic Park, with the city's mayor claiming the bright red swirling structure -- likened by many to a rollercoaster --some said it is better than the Eiffel Tower "i'll wait for my friends to visit before i choose sides".

Boris Johnson said the Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond-designed structure, which rises up next to the Olympic Stadium at Stratford in the city's East End was "a masterpiece of design and engineering."

"It endlessly repays the viewer, it is a very rewarding thing to look at. The Eiffel Tower is very simple, the Shard, behind me, is a piece of cake -- any child of two could do that -- this is much more elaborate, more sophisticated, more intriguing and complex," he told CNN.

The tower stands 114.5m tall, making it Britain's biggest sculpture, more than twice the height of Nelson's Column, almost six times the height of the Angel of the North, and 22m taller than the Statue of Liberty.

 Though the design is kind of funny but there is no doubt it is an architectural 114.5m tall masterpiece in a perfect location and ready to host the Olympic fans.
