London Eye
London
At 135 metres tall the London eye is the biggest Ferris wheel in Europe and the
fourth tallest structure in London, towering above the London Skyline.
The London Eye is situated on the South Bank of the river Thames, opposite the Houses
of Parliament. Opened to the public in March 2000, it has become a famous London
landmark and over 30 million people have since ridden it.
Consisting of 32 sealed and air-conditioned passenger capsules, each rotation of
the wheel takes about 30 minutes, meaning a capsule travels at a stately 0.6 miles
per hour, and mean passengers can get on and off without the wheel having to stop.
On a clear day you can see around 40km from the top, to as far as Windsor Castle,
and it is a great way to see London from a new perspective.
The London Eyes is available to hire for special occasions such as birthdays, weddings,
hen or stag parties and corporate and office events.
