Take a spin around the board

Every so often our city gains a high-rise, car park or gherkin and for every man that sees a skyline scar, another sees a brand new place to play.

Take the hopping mad Parkour lot for starters, who make the most of every rooftop, curb and railing, or the Pringle-clad crew over in Shoreditch playing Urban Golf. We're skating, blading and cycling the streets and whether we like getting out of the office and into the open or are just plain addicted to our city, we're certainly making the most of urban living.

The latest landmark to cater for the craze is the London Eye when Urban Yoga arrives in town tomorrow morning. Already a hit in cities such as Paris and Vienna where the rooftops are rife with sun saluters, it's a sure-fire way to start the day feeling on top of the world (just don't spike a spot on the moving horizon or you may be downward dog for some time!)

So what's next for the urban junkies of London - volleyball at Elephant and Castle? Big Ben bungee jumping perhaps? The skyline's surely the limit.

 

Carpe Diem Urban Yoga - 8am Wed May 3 launch at The London Eye. Pre-register online. £10 donation for full rotation of the wheel goes to The Special Yoga Centre in London. All yoga classes in the 31 capsules will be led by an agoy professional yoga instructor.
