A modern, but already very popular tourist attraction, is the London Eye, a giant observation wheel located in the Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank. The 135 meter tall structure was built as part of London's millennium celebrations.
British Airways was the company that gave the money for the construction.
The wheel rotates vertically, is 443 feet tall and has 32 capsules with windows of high-tech glass, each with space for 32 people.Each capsule is air-conditioned and was designed to rotate in a way in which everyone can appreciate a spectacular view of London. The trip is approximately 30 minutes long.
On a clear day you can see all the way to Heathrow Airport and Windsor Castle.The wheel does not usually stop to transfer passengers, the rotation is slow enough that they can easily get on and off the moving capsules at ground level.
Definitely a must do, London is so historical and beautiful and you can see everything from the eye. It is really worth doing.
