London is easily one of the world\u2019s top tourist hotspots, with around 20 million people exploring its lively streets each year. Known for its seamless blend of history and modern charm, the city is packed with iconic landmarks like Big Ben, a symbol that’s been splashed across postcards for years. But when the new millennium rolled around, London got another star attraction\u2014the London Eye<\/a>, a stunning cantilevered observation wheel. Since it opened, the London Eye has skyrocketed in popularity and is now a must-see for anyone visiting the capital.<\/p>\n

Today, around 4 million visitors get treated to breathtaking views of the city (yup, even when it’s a gloomy London morning!) from this 443-foot-high wheel. It\u2019s the second-highest observation point in London, just behind The Shard<\/a>. With its prime spot along the Thames<\/a>, the London Eye offers some truly jaw-dropping sights. It\u2019s even been dubbed London\u2019s answer to the Eiffel Tower<\/a>, giving everyone the chance to see the city from a totally unique vantage point.<\/p>\n
