The London Eye

About The London Eye

The iconic 135-metre observation wheel on the South Bank, lifting you above the Thames for sweeping 25-mile views over Big Ben, the city and beyond.

Turning gently above the South Bank since 2000, the London Eye is the capital's most-visited paid attraction and an unmistakable part of the skyline. Its 32 glass capsules carry you 135 metres up over a graceful 30-minute rotation, unfolding 25-mile panoramas across the Thames to Big Ben, Westminster, St Paul's and, on clear days, Windsor Castle. Sunset flights and champagne experiences make it a special occasion; a hop across the river to Westminster and the museums makes it an easy start to any London day.
