The London Eye
The London Eye
This giant Ferris wheel stands high above the city on the left bank of the Thames. At 135 meters it is the tallest cantilevered observation wheel in the world. Glass capsules that will hold 25 people each allow riders an amazing view of the city of London.
The 32 capsules have 360 degree views, benches for seating and are heated and cooled as needed.
"views are equally spectacular what ever time of day"
Numerous special capsules are available including: wine tasting, chocolate tasting, cupid’s capsule for couples and a private capsule for families.
Since its’ opening in 2000 as the “Millennium Wheel”, it has become a symbol for modern Britain. It is the most popular of London’s paid attractions and has been the setting for many
TV shows and movies.
Twenty two hundred tons of concrete and forty four concrete pilings make up the foundation for the wheel. Above that is a second foundation that required twelve hundred tons of concrete to
hold the backstay cables in tension.
As a prelude to their ride, visitors can enjoy a 4D experience of a 3D film with effects that include wind, bubbles and mist.
There is wheelchair access with discounts for disabled guests, and one caregiver may ride for free.
