British Airways i360: Impressive visitor counts and famous names

We have had an incredible first four weeks. We welcomed 110,000 people on board (reaching the milestone of the 100,000th visitor after just over 3 weeks), served 14,000 drinks (all producers from Sussex) in the Nyetimber Sky Bar and signed up over 7,000 members to our local residents’ membership scheme. 
Media coverage has been extensive nationally and internationally and we have rapidly climbed up the TripAdvisor list of ‘Things to Do in Brighton’ from number 154 to number 14 so far.
This week will see the opening of our event spaces. In our first week we have a plethora events taking place from conferences to banquets, an award ceremony, a birthday party and our fist wedding with the couple getting married in the pod and then enjoying a banquet in our beach-side hospitality rooms.

Did you know that each event room is named after someone famous associated with Brighton?
(Richard) Attenborough who filmed Oh What a Lovely War on the West Pier, (Eugenius) Birch who was the architect of the West Pier, (John) Constable who painted the Chain Pier and lived around the corner in Sillwood Street, (Martha) Gunn the famous dipper, (Jane) Austen who set a scene from Pride and Prejudice at Belle Vue Fields (the location of Regency Square next to the BA i360) – Belle Vue is the name of our recently opened restaurant, (John) Nash who was the architect of the Royal Pavilion, and (Magnus) Volk the inventor who built the Volk’s Electric Railway.
