London Eye

Iconic, and a technological masterpiece, the London Eye is about as cool as it gets and is a top attraction in London. A part of the famous London landscape for nearly 20 years. Since opening in 2000, the famous London Eye has become the most popular paid attraction in the United Kingdom.

Step into the high-tech floating bubbles looming 443 feet over the Thames River for a 30-minute trip at speeds of about 0.6 miles per hour. The United Kingdom’s most popular paid tourist attraction, the Eye has 32 capsules that can accommodate up to 25 riders each.

The wheel has a diameter of 120 meters, and the building is 135 meters tall. It was the tallest Ferris wheel in the entire globe when it first opened to the public in 2000. The Eye is referred to by its owners as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel" despite only having an A-frame on one side, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels. You can view the most well-known local landmarks, including the Big Ben clock tower, Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral, and more, from the London Eye. Sunset also creates a stunning orange-red hue over the great horizon. London now appears as clear and calm as an oil painting. You can both "drop your lost soul" into the bustling urban scene and carefully plan your next destination.
