London Eye
The London Eye is a giant observation wheel located in the Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank of the river Thames. It is Modern but already a very popular tourist attraction.
The London Eye is 135 metres high, which makes it the world’s tallest observation wheel. It has 32 capsules and carries about 10 000 visitors every day. It is visited by over 4 million people a year. While travelling in complete safety you can see up to 40 kilometres away in all directions from each capsule. Many famous landmarks are clearly visible, including Buckingham Palace, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament.
In 2009, a 4D Film Experience was added as a free extra to enjoy before your ride on the Eye.
About 160 visitors pass through the 4D cinema every 8 minutes so don’t worry about waiting as the cinema is more spacious than it first seems.
