About London Eye
The London Eye on the South Bank of the Thames, offers a birds-eye view of the city. Launched in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium, see the Big Ben, Parliament houses, Buckingham Palace, the Shard and St Paul's Cathedral from its capsules.
The London Eye is the largest cantilevered observation wheel in the world, with a diameter of 394 feet. It is however no longer the largest ferris wheel in the world. That is now Ain Dubai.
Designed by husband-and-wife duo of Julia Barfield and David Marks, it was originally planned to be temporary, but its popularity led to its permanent installation.
Each of the London Eye's 32 passenger capsules represents one of the boroughs of London. They are also climate-controlled, so no matter what the weather is like outside (even if it is a typical cold and rainy London day), you'll be cozy inside.
The London Eye has been featured in numerous movies, including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.
Why visit London Eye?
A different perspective
The view from the top of the London Eye means you get a unique perspective on the city's architecture and appreciate the intricate details of its buildings - some old and regal, others modern and sleek. You can even spot London's iconic landmarks, including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the River Thames.
Stunning sunsets
If you time your ride perfectly, then the change of the skyline from day to dusk to nightfall is stunning. The skies go from bright blue, light pink, flaming orange and then black in about 45 minutes. So hop on with 30 minutes to sunset left to see this magical sunset.
Thrilling 4D Experience
While at the London Eye you can enjoy a 4D cinema experience that showcases the history and evolution of London, using state-of-the-art technology to bring the city's rich heritage to life. Unfortunately, this is out of commission for a brief period.
