The London Eye

  The London Eye, positioned on the South Bank of the River Thames near Westminster Bridge, is a giant observation wheel that stands 135 meters tall. Completed in 2000, it was initially intended as a temporary structure for the millennium celebrations. Today, it serves as a popular attraction, offering visitors spectacular views of the London skyline from its 32 glass capsules. Open year-round, the Eye is particularly vibrant during the summer months when special events and seasonal activities take place. As you glide slowly to the top, be sure to look out for iconic landmarks like Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament spread out before you.
