London Eye Tourist Guide - London
The London Eye is located, as the name indicates, in London, England, and is one of the capital's more recent attractions, having opened in 2000. The British Airways London Eye is also referred to as the Millennium Wheel, and until 2006 had the honor of being the largest observation wheel in the world. Located on the south bank of the River Thames, the London Eye towers over the city at over four hundred feet high. The London eye has thirty two passenger pods for seating, which are both sealed and air conditioned, ensuring that your time on the wheel is both safe and comfortable. One rotation of the wheel takes around half an hour. The London Eye is a wonderful way to enjoy panoramic views of this vibrant capital city, and although it may not be the ideal attraction for those with a fear of heights it is certainly an exhilarating and enjoyable experience for young and old alike. At night time the London Eye really is a sight to behold, as it is lit up against the night sky and really stands out. The London Eye offers night flights as well as daytime ones, and for a truly magical experience it is well worth riding the Eye at night time as well as in the day, as you will see the city of London in a totally different light and from a totally different perspective. An evening flight is the ideal way to enjoy incredible views and take in the dazzling bright lights of London whilst enjoying a comfortable and memorable experience. For that really special occasion you can even take a champagne flight, where you can relax and sip champagne as you take in the views of the city. This is a truly wonderful way to treat a loved one to a very romantic and special one-off experience.
