- The
London Eye is one of the UK's most popular new attractions.
This world's largest observation wheel, standing at 135m, took
seven years to design and build. Serving as the ideal
symbol for the Millennium, it represents the turning of the
century.
-
- The
slow, 30-minute ride in high-tech "capsules" offers
breathtaking views of London. Passengers can see
over 25 miles in each direction and will view some of the world's
most famous sights including Windsor Castle, the Palace of Westminster
and the Houses of Parliament. There are over 15, 000 visitors
per day.
