The London Eye in Leicester Square

The London Eye – London’s Iconic Observation Wheel

Few landmarks define modern London as vividly as the London Eye. Rising 135 metres above the River Thames, this giant observation wheel offers breathtaking, 360-degree views across the city and has become one of the capital’s most visited attractions since its opening in 2000.

A ride on the London Eye lasts around 30 minutes, giving visitors plenty of time to spot some of the city’s most famous landmarks, from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to St Paul’s Cathedral, the Shard, and even Windsor Castle on a clear day. The spacious glass capsules provide a smooth and comfortable experience, making it an ideal activity for families, school groups, corporate outings, and international visitors alike.
