Fancy hurtling down a steel slide at 30mph, twisting and turning on the way? You do? Well head over to the Tate Modern, home of all things modern art.

The slides are the brainchild of German installation artist Carsten Holler, who (justifiably?) believes the slide to be an essential mode of human transport. He would love to see slides between shopping centres, tube stations, and connecting MPs with the House of Commons. Mad? Perhaps. But take advantage - these things are fun!

The largest slide is 55.5 metres long and drops 27 metres.

Holler said: “Going down can be like being under the influence of a drug, a thrilling experience, but it is also a fast and efficient way of getting from A to B. It’s a playground for the body and the brain. It’s art and it’s not art.”
