London Eye

An iconic 360° observation wheel offering unparalleled views of London’s skyline.

The London Eye, also known as The Millennium Wheel, is one of London’s most recognizable landmarks and one of the largest observation wheels in Europe. Located on the South Bank of the River Thames, near Westminster Bridge, it faces the Houses of Parliament and the iconic Big Ben.

Built in 2000 to mark the new millennium, the London Eye stands at a height_ of 135 meters and features 32 glass capsules, each accommodating up to 25 passengers. These fully transparent capsules provide an uninterrupted 360° panoramic view of the city.

A full rotation of the London Eye takes about 30 minutes, moving slowly to allow passengers to fully enjoy the experience. On a clear day, views can stretch as far as 40 kilometers, offering stunning vistas both during the daytime and at night when the city is illuminated.

The London Eye has become a top photography spot and a must-visit attraction for anyone exploring London.
