When the Millennium Commission announced their intention to build a Ferris Wheel that would tower 50 metres above Big Ben, people were understandably cynical. But the British Airways London Eye turned out to be one of the finest new attractions in London since Queen Victoria’s Great Exhibition.

On busy summer days around 15,000 visitors take a 'flight'. If it's clear you can see 25 miles in each direction from the top of its 140 metre arc.
Many London ers have become regular users, revelling in this unique perspective of their city. Weddings, business meetings, birthdays and family outings are frequently played out in the pods.

For tourists it is an essential port of call. Relaxing, fascinating and inspiring, the Eye has become a definitive part of the London experience. What are you waiting for? Hop on and take in the capital’s greatest landmarks and sweeping panoramas safely ensconced in a perfectly designed pod.
