About the London Eye 
Built for the Millennium, the London Eye has become one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks and an iconic symbol of modern London. Situated in the heart of the capital, it offers visitors a unique perspective on the city, with breathtaking 360-degree views stretching across London’s skyline. Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, it remains the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel, standing 135m tall. A full rotation invites guests to experience London from new heights, taking in over 2,000 years of history, culture and life from a moving viewpoint unlike any other in the city. Since 2000, nearly 90 million people have ascended into London’s skyline. It’s in postcards, it’s in selfies, and has cemented its place in popular culture, being frequently featured in film and instantly recognisable worldwide. From first dates to ‘I do’, Hollywood royalty to actual royalty, its 32 capsules – one for every London borough – have seen it all over the years. Today, the London Eye continues to inspire visitors to see beyond the sights and experience London differently.
