Opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium, the London
Eye is still the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel.
With a height of 443 ft. (135 m), this remarkable feat of design
and engineering has become the UK’s most popular paid
attraction, with 3.75 million visitors every year. On a clear day
it is possible to see up to 25 miles (40.2 km) in the distance
from the top of the wheel.
Originally intended as a temporary structure, the London Eye
is now a permanent fixture of the London skyline and an
iconic symbol of modern London.
