 | The British Airways London Eye, also known as the Millenium Wheel was first opened to the public in the spring of 2000, in correspondence with the millenium celebrations. The Eye is the largest observational wheel in the world and stands at a pretty impressive 135 metres tall, where at its peak, you can catch some of the most breath-taking sites of London, whether it be day or night. The gradual 30 minute flight will offer you and your family the chance to take advantage of the stunning panaramic views on offer. Each capsule is fitted with seating facilities and is fully air conditioned to ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible. |
Whether viewed in the day or during the night, the London Eye is the place to be to experience the best view of all of London's famous attractions. Located on the southbank, adjacent to the river Thames, the London Eye offers you the opportunity to see Buckingham House, Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament, from a bird's eye view. Visited on average by around 10,000 visitors, it has become the most popular paid visitor attraction with over 3.5 million people a year visiting the site.The Eye provides anyone a unique and quite magical experience. It has the finesse and touch to provide a relaxed and chilled out afternoon or evening, whilst being equally adept to provide a perfect wake-up call to any morning. It is truly a magical experience and one not to miss.
