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?

Stunning sunsets
