When the Millennium Commission announced their intention to build an observation wheel that would stand 135 meters over the city of London, people were initially cynical. But the British Airways London Eye has turned out to be the finest and most popular new attraction in London since Queen Victoria’s Great Exhibition. The London Eye now welcomes between 3.5 and 4 million guests every year.
Conceived and designed by Marks Barfield Architects, the London Eye is a feat of modern engineering, both beautiful to look at and beautiful to look from. It is the tallest observation wheel in the world, allowing you to see one of the world’s most exciting cities from a completely new perspective. With amazing views to the edge and beyond the capital, it reveals parts of the city, which are simply not visible from the ground. For Londoners and visitors alike, it has become an essential port of call: relaxing, fascinating and inspiring, the Eye has become a definitive part of the London experience. |
