London Eye

The London Eye, situated on the banks of the River Thames in Greater London, United Kingdom, is a giant cantilevered observation wheel that offers unparalleled views of the city from an enclosed capsule. The attention-grabbing feature of the London Eye stands 135 metres (443 ft) tall and a full rotation takes around 30 minutes. On a clear day visitors can see up to 25miles in every direction, taking in some of London’s most iconic sights such as Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. To make the most of your visit, it’s worth taking the time to learn more about the Eye’s incredible history, as well as the stories of the major landmarks you’ll get to see during your journey. A trip to the observatory, at the peak of the wheel, provides unbeatable views and makes for an even more memorable visit.
