About The London Eye
The London Eye was constructed as part of the millennium celebrations in 1999 and was later officially opened to the public in March 2000. It was actually only intended to be a temporary structure but due to its popularity it has become a permanent and loved fixture on the London skyline!
The wheel stands at a height of 135 metres (443 feet) so the giant ferris wheel (not actually technically a ferris wheel!) offers amazing views of London's skyline from its glass capsules, with each one holding up to 25 people! A rotation takes about 30 minutes, as it moves at 0.9km/h, so you have plenty of time to enjoy panoramic views and take lots of photos! You can see up to 40km on a clear day, so keep you eyes out for Windsor Castle!
If you want to treat yourself, there is even a Champagne Experience option!
Landmarks You Can See Include:
- The Houses of Parliament
- Big Ben
- Millennium Bridge
- The Shard
- Westminster Bridge
- Tower Bridge
- River Thames
- Tate Museum
- Jubilee Gardens
- St. Paul's Cathedral
- Westminster Abbey
- Buckingham Palace, amongst others.
Enjoy your ride!
