Best London Eye Tours from London

Also called the Millennium Wheel, this huge Ferris wheel along the River Thames has become a symbol of the City of London. When the London Eye was built in 1999, it held the title of the "World's Tallest Ferris Wheel" and is still the tallest in Europe at 443 feet by 394 feet. It was designed by Marks Barfield Architects and officially opened in 2000. The London Eye has 32 oval passenger capsules and the entire wheel can carry 800 people. Its rotation takes about a half-hour. Show All
