The Brighton i360 stands on the Brighton seafront, at the landward end of the ruined West Pier, in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex. David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield designed it. The site belongs to the West Pier Trust, and Nightcap Ltd bought the attraction in 2025. Tower work began in May 2014, and the tower opened on August 4, 2016.

It is a moving observation tower 531 feet (162 meters) tall, made of steel cylindrical sections. A fully enclosed glass pod of 59 feet (18 meters) holds up to 200 people and offers 360-degree views.

The pod is wheelchair accessible. The base has a bar, restaurant, café and gift shop.
