- The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually.
The structure is 135 meters (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 meters (394 ft). When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel.
Supported by an A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel".
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Garden, on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge beside County Hall, in the London Borough of Lambeth.

When we visited the United Kingdom last year, we had developed an itinerary based on catching up with friends in Northern Ireland and Ireland. We planned for sightseeing the first four days in London once arriving at Heathrow, mainly to acclimate our body clocks to a five-hour time difference, but also to take advantage of the London Passes. We had a little problem, though… our connector flight from Raleigh/Durham to Kennedy International was late due to thunderstorms in New York. Once it got here, storms in this area grounded it for the remainder of the day. We wound up having to drive from RDU to Kennedy or lose two days before catching the flight over. As it was, our London Passes were rendered useless for this trip… but they were good for a year. So, we returned this year to make use of them.
We decided this year to focus on England and spend four days in London attending sites of our choosing… this image of the London Eye was just icing on the cake after a day of touring Greenwich. We had just come off a London Water Bus on the Thames to the Westminster Millenium Pier near Parliament. It was dusk when we arrived, but after being on foot for over 8-miles that day, we just waited for darkness to fall to get a good long exposure of Jubilee Gardens to smooth out the Thames for some good reflections.
The London Eye opened the 31st of December in 1999. At the time, it was the tallest Ferris wheel at 446 feet. Sir Richard Rogers, the winner of the 2007 Pritzker Architecture Prize, wrote of the London Eye in a book about the project:
"The Eye has done for London what the Eiffel Tower did for Paris, which is to give it a symbol and to let people climb above the city and look back down on it. Not just specialists or rich people, but everybody. That's the beauty of it: it is public and accessible, and it is in a great position at the heart of London."
The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over 3 million visitors annually, and has made many appearances in popular culture.
In March 2020 the London Eye celebrated its 20th birthday by turning its pods into experiences in partnership with its sponsor lastminute.com. The special experiences included a pub in a capsule, a west end theatre pod and a garden party with flower arrangements to represent the eight London Royal parks.
Part of a set that I took a couple of years ago. I'm still trawling back through old photos, since I haven't taken any new ones for a while.
