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.

Highlights

Panoramic Views of London

The London Eye provides spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of the city. From its highest point, visitors can see up to 40 kilometers on a clear day, offering views of iconic landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul's Cathedral.

Interactive Capsules

Each capsule is equipped with interactive guides that offer insights into the landmarks visible from the Eye. These guides are available in multiple languages, enhancing the educational aspect of the ride for tourists from around the world.

Interesting engineering

The London Eye's design and construction are unique, featuring a cantilevered observation wheel with an A-frame on one side only. It's a great example of contemporary architectural prowess; intriguing for those interested in engineering and design.

The experience was satisfactory, the line to go up was very smooth and we did not have to wait long in the cold. There were thorough checks in the bag ticket even with the metal detector, so I felt safe. There were 25 of us in the cabin and I was lucky because all the people who were there offered to relieve themselves to give everyone a chance to see the breathtaking view! Overall I am satisfied with the experience and would recommend it to everyone!
