The London Eye started life as a competition entry to a millenium icon project by a husband and wife team of architects. The London Eye is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the country, with 3 million visitors enjoying the flight every year.
The London Eye - also known as the Millennium Wheel - is situated in the Western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the river Thames. Standing at 135 metres (443 ft) tall, it towers over the Houses of Parliament and St. Pauls Cathedral, offering amazing views across the Thames and all the way to the City.
The wheel carries 32 air-conditioned capsules, which are spacious enough for 25 people. The wheel's rotation rate is slow enough to allow you to get on and off easily on ground level.
