London Eye Tickets

The London Eye is one of the most popular tourist attractions In London. This iconic sight is visited by nearly 3.5 million people every year. The London Eye was opened in March 2000 and this spectacular 135 meters high wheel travels at a speed of 26cm per second. It was designed by the couple architect Julia Barfield and David Marks. The name is officially changed to EDF Energy London Eye with effect from January 2011. Initially it was known as the Millennium Wheel as it signifies the end of a Millennium and the beginning of another and was sponsored by British Airways. You may even choose to call it as British Airways Millennium Wheel or British Airways London Eye. Be it any name, the experience is simply remarkable.

The wheel provides an uninterrupted view of around 40 kilometers in all directions. The wheel has 32 capsules and one rotation takes approximately 30 minutes that gives you enough time to capture the glimpses of beautiful London City. Each pod will take around 20 people to such a height and gives a different and more magnificent view of London than anything else. The London Eye is at a walking distance from quite a few underground stations that includes Embankment, Waterloo, Westminster and Charing Cross. The closest one is Waterloo.
