| The London Eye |
SINCE opening at the turn of the century, the London Eye has become an iconic landmark and an established part of the capital's skyline.
The world's tallest observation wheel,
135m high, sits on the banks of the Thames, offering unrivalled views over London.
With a quickly gained status comparable to
Tower Bridge, Big Ben, Eros and the Tower of London, the Eye now attracts more than 3.5 million people a year.
The main attraction of a 'flight' on the British Airways Eye is the breathtaking panoramic view of up to 40 kilometres.
Standing under the Eye to admire the design and engineering is awesome enough but only enjoying the sights as you take a gentle trip around the wheel in one of the capsules can really do it justice.
The London Eye is just a couple of minutes' walk from Waterloo station and easy to get to from the News Shopper area.
