(CNN) London thrill-seekers will soon be able to see the city's famous skyline from a whole new angle -- thanks to a new zip line opening in July.

London's new urban zip wire is described as the "biggest, fastest of its kind."

The 225-meter (738.2-foot) descent will allow riders to travel at speeds of 50 miles per hour.

A similar inner-city zip wire was recently installed in Paris for two weeks in June.

"Giant zip lines and the greatest cityscape in the world -- it seemed such an obvious idea to put the two together," says Barry Shaverin, founder of Zip World London.

"And Archbishop's Park is one of London's best kept secrets -- we really want to help it get the attention it deserves."

Tickets -- 22.50 (roughly $29) for an individual adult -- are predicted to sell out fast.

The zip line will be up for 12 weeks from July 6, 2017 onwards.

In December 2016, a zip line across the Thames was installed by the London Fire Brigade.

Riders raised more than 1 million for Evelina London Children's Hospital.

Try if you dare, zip line over the Alps and then BASE jump your way to the ground. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.
