40 Bank Street / The Poppy Appeal
A 140m abseil above Canary Wharf for the Poppy Appeal.
In November 2016, Control Descent was tasked with creating an eye-catching stunt for the launch of the Poppy Appeal — a 140m abseil from the roof of 40 Bank Street in Canary Wharf.
The young abseilers faced an additional challenge during the descent: carrying and controlling flags as they made their way down the building.
Control Descent trained the participants to manage the flags safely while abseiling, turning the descent into a striking visual display above Canary Wharf.
