Soaring above one of the world's most famous cities, on the world's tallest observation wheel at 135 metres, is this unforgettable experience, located on the banks of the River Thames. The Eye is a distinctive highlight of London's horizon and offers unrivalled views over the capital.
In fact, in its short life, British Airways London Eye has become the most popular paid-for UK attraction, visited by over 3.5 million people a year (an average of 10,000 a day). A breathtaking feat of design and engineering, passengers in the London Eye capsules can see up to 40 kilometres in all directions, in complete comfort and safety.
It took seven years and the skills of hundreds of people from five countries to make the London Eye a reality. But there's much, much more to the Eye than its views and engineering. It has become an iconic symbol of London.
