Built to mark the millennium, the London Eye stands as a towering 443-foot (135-meter) Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames. From its vantage point, visitors can take in panoramic views of Central London, including iconic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, which lie just across the river. As one of the most popular paid tourist attractions in the United Kingdom, the London Eye offers a unique perspective of the city’s skyline, making it a key destination for both locals and visitors alike.
