Visit the London Eye, London’s iconic landmark
In just a few years, the London Eye, the majestic Ferris wheel on the south bank of the River Thames, has become one of the British capital’s most iconic attractions. At 135 metres high, this observation wheel offers a 360-degree panoramic view of London, attracting millions of visitors every year. Whether you’re planning your first trip to the English capital or want to rediscover this engineering marvel, this comprehensive guide will accompany you on your visit to the London Eye.
What is the London Eye?
The London Eye, officially known as the London Eye since its partnership with travel website lastminute.com in 2020, is much more than just a Ferris wheel. It is an architectural feat that has revolutionised the concept of modern observation wheels. Opened on 31 December 1999 to celebrate the turn of the millennium, the structure quickly captured the hearts of Londoners and visitors from all over the world.
Designed by architects David Marks and Julia Barfield, a married couple who won a design competition, the Ferris wheel was originally intended as a temporary five-year installation. Its phenomenal success, however, led to its perpetuation, and it is now regarded as an essential symbol of the London skyline, on a par with Big Ben and Tower Bridge.
At 135 metres high, the London Eye was Europe’s tallest observation wheel until 2006. Today, it still holds the record for Europe’s tallest cantilevered wheel, an impressive technical feature that means it is supported on one side only, with no central structure.

History and construction of the London Eye
A bold design for the new millennium
The story of the London Eye began in 1993, when The Sunday Times launched an architectural competition to create a monument to mark the start of the third millennium. David Marks and Julia Barfield, architects by profession and married for life, proposed a revolutionary project: a large observation wheel that would offer visitors an unprecedented view of the British capital.
Their vision was inspired by the Great Wheel at the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, but with a resolutely modern approach. The concept immediately appealed for its boldness and its potential to become a new symbol for London. However, the road to realisation was not without its pitfalls, and the project took several years to see the light of day.
An unprecedented engineering challenge
Construction of the London Eye began in 1998 and was a real technical challenge. The building required more than 1,700 tonnes of materials from eight different countries. The segments were transported in pieces, then assembled on site, before being progressively straightened over the Thames in an operation of millimetre precision.
One of the most remarkable features of the London Eye is its cantilever design. Unlike traditional wheels with a central hub, this one is supported on one side only by an A-frame structure. This technical feat, which uses tensioned cables similar to those used in aeronautics, allows the wheel to appear to float in the London sky.
Inauguration and immediate success
The London Eye was officially opened by Prime Minister Tony Blair on 31 December 1999, although it did not open to the public until March 2000 due to minor technical problems. In its first few months of operation, the attraction was a resounding success, far exceeding visitor forecasts.
What was intended to be a temporary installation lasting five years quickly became a permanent and essential feature of the London landscape. Over the years, the London Eye has welcomed more than 90 million visitors and transformed the skyline of the British capital, establishing itself as one of the UK’s most visited visitor attractions.

Technical specifications of the London Eye
Impressive dimensions
The London Eye stands out for its extraordinary dimensions. With a height of 135 metres from the base to the top, it offers a privileged view of the entire city. It has a diameter of 120 metres, making it one of the largest structures of its kind in the world.
The wheel turns at a constant speed of 26 centimetres per second (around 0.9 km/h), a pace slow enough to allow passengers to board and alight without the wheel stopping. A complete rotation takes around 30 minutes, giving visitors plenty of time to admire the panoramic view and take some memorable photos.
High-tech nacelles
The London Eye has 32 passenger capsules, symbolising the 32 boroughs of London. Superstitiously, the numbering goes straight from 12 to 14, omitting 13. Each gondola is a real technological feat: entirely glazed to offer 360-degree visibility, air-conditioned for the comfort of visitors, and equipped with central benches for resting while enjoying the view.
These high-tech capsules are 8 metres long, 4 metres in diameter and each weigh 10 tonnes. They can accommodate up to 25 people, although numbers are generally limited for greater comfort. Interactive tablets are installed inside each capsule to provide information about the monuments visible from the London Eye. The total throughput of the attraction is around 1,600 people per hour – the equivalent of 11 red London buses!
London Eye opening times and days
The London Eye is open virtually all year round, with only a few days closed for maintenance. Opening times vary according to the season, so check the official website before you visit.
In winter (generally from October to the end of March), the London Eye opens its doors from 11am to 6pm, with last admission at 5.30pm. During the summer season (April to September), opening times are extended from 10am to 8.30pm, with last admission at 8pm, so you can admire the capital at sunset and at dusk.
The exceptions are 24 December (Christmas Eve), when the attraction closes early at 5.30pm, and 31 December (New Year’s Eve), when it closes at 3pm. The London Eye is closed on 25 December (Christmas Day) and during an annual maintenance period, usually between early and mid-January (the exact dates vary from year to year).

What can you see from the London Eye?
One of the main reasons to visit the London Eye is, of course, the spectacular views it offers over London. On a clear day, you can see for up to 40 kilometres, taking in the whole of the capital and beyond.
Emblematic monuments
From the capsules of the London Eye, you can admire London’s most famous monuments from a unique angle. Heading east, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster stand majestically on the banks of the Thames. The Elizabeth Tower, home to the famous Big Ben bell, is particularly photogenic from this height.
Further north, St Paul’s Cathedral dominates the skyline with its imposing Baroque dome, an architectural masterpiece by Christopher Wren. You can also see Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarchy, and Westminster Abbey, where monarchs have been crowned since 1066.
Tower Bridge, the world’s most famous bascule bridge, is revealed in all its splendour to the east, while the Tower of London, the historic fortress housing the Crown Jewels, stands out along the Thames. Fans of modern architecture will love the view of The Shard, a 310-metre skyscraper inaugurated in 2012, and the towers of the City’s financial district.
Green spaces and the Thames
London is renowned for its many parks and green spaces, and the view from the London Eye is a great way to appreciate this unique feature of the capital. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are vast oases of green in the heart of the city. Regent’s Park, with its zoo and French gardens, can be seen to the north, while Buckingham Palace Gardens form a green setting around the royal palace.
The Thames itself is a fascinating sight from this height. The river meanders through the city, linking different districts and revealing the many bridges that span it: Westminster Bridge just opposite the London Eye, Waterloo Bridge, Blackfriars Bridge, and many others. The water taxis and cruise ships that ply the river look like little models from the top of the wheel.

Practical tips for visiting the London Eye
1. Book in advance to avoid queues
The first tip, and probably the most important, is to book your ticket online in advance. Not only will you make substantial savings (up to £10 per ticket), but you’ll also avoid long queues at ticket offices, particularly during the peak tourist season (April to September) and during school holidays.
Tickets purchased online allow you to choose a specific time slot, making it much easier to organise your day’s visit. For maximum flexibility, opt for a Flexi Fast Track ticket, which allows you to visit at any time during the day without a strict time reservation.
2. Choosing the best time to visit
The timing of your visit can transform your experience of the London Eye. For an absolutely magical view, choose a golden hour. You’ll have the privilege of admiring the city bathed in the last rays of sunlight, then watching the iconic monuments gradually light up as night falls on London. It’s a truly unforgettable spectacle.
If you want to avoid the crowds, it’s best to visit during the week, early in the morning or late in the afternoon. Thousands of visitors flock at weekends and during school holidays, which can make waiting times considerably longer even if you have booked in advance. The months of January and February, which are quieter on the tourist front, also offer a more serene experience, even if the weather can be capricious.
3. Allow enough time
Although the rotation itself lasts 30 minutes, allow around 1 to 1? hours for the whole experience. This includes going through security checks, boarding your capsule, completing the tour and disembarking. During busy periods, these times can be longer, which is why you should buy a Fast Track ticket if you’re on a tight schedule.
Don’t forget to check the opening times before your visit, as they vary according to the season and certain public holidays may result in early closures or altered opening times.
4. What to take with you
A few practical recommendations will help you make the most of your experience. First of all, make sure you wear clothes suited to the weather. Even if the capsules are air-conditioned, remember that it can be chilly on the banks of the Thames, particularly in winter. A light jacket is often appreciated.
Bring your camera or smartphone with a fully charged battery. The panoramic views from the London Eye offer countless opportunities for memorable photos. The windows of the capsules are designed to allow excellent quality shots, and you’ll be able to photograph freely throughout the rotation.
You can take a reasonably-sized rucksack upstairs, but be aware that all luggage goes through a security check similar to that at airports. Avoid bringing prohibited items such as knives, sharp objects or glass bottles. Pushchairs are permitted and can be carried folded in the capsules.
5. Accessibility and services
The London Eye is fully accessible to people with reduced mobility. The wheel only stops very occasionally to allow wheelchair users to board, with full assistance from staff. It is advisable to indicate your specific needs when booking online.
Toilets are available before boarding, and it is advisable to take advantage of them as there are none in the capsules. A gift shop is located at the exit of the attraction, offering a wide range of items relating to the London Eye and London.

Anecdotes and unusual facts about the London Eye
The London Eye is full of fascinating anecdotes and surprising facts that add to its charm and legend.
An initially temporary project
As mentioned above, the London Eye was only designed to remain in place for five years, the time of the millennium celebrations. Its immediate popular success convinced the authorities to keep it there permanently. Today, it would be unthinkable to imagine the London skyline without this iconic Ferris wheel!
A wheel without a central hub
The London Eye is the largest cantilevered observation wheel in the world. Unlike traditional large wheels with a central hub supporting the spokes, this one is supported on one side only by an A-frame structure and a network of live cables. This technical feat, inspired by aeronautical engineering, gives the wheel its airy, elegant appearance.
The mystery of number 13
Although the London Eye has 32 capsules symbolising the 32 boroughs of London, the numbering jumps from 12 to 14, omitting the number 13 out of superstition. This practice, common in many buildings and hotels, reflects the persistence of popular beliefs even in modern engineering projects!
A rotation for charity
In 2013, the London Eye organised a unique charity event, offering continuous rotations for 24 hours at a time. The funds raised were donated to local charities, demonstrating the attraction’s social commitment beyond its tourism role.
The royal capsule
On the 10th anniversary of the London Eye in 2010, a capsule was officially named in honour of the British Royal Family. Called the “Royal Capsule”, it is the only one of the 32 to bear an official name, underlining the symbolic link between the attraction and the monarchy.
Records and performances
Since its opening, the London Eye has welcomed over 90 million visitors, making it one of the UK’s most visited ticketed attractions. On a clear day, visibility from the top can reach 40 kilometres, with Windsor Castle visible in the distance. More than 5,000 marriage proposals have been made on the London Eye, making it one of the most romantic Ferris wheels in London!
In conclusion, the London Eye is much more than just a Ferris wheel: it’s an architectural icon, a symbol of London’s modernity and an absolute must-see on any visit to the British capital. Whether you’re here to watch the sun set over the River Thames, enjoy 360-degree panoramic views of the city’s iconic landmarks, or simply enjoy a unique family experience, the London Eye is sure to amaze.
