The capsules on the world's tallest big wheel offer you an unbeatable view of the city.
The highest big wheel of the world (135 m) exceeding Big Ben on the other side of the Thames. The 32 glass cabins (for 25 passengers each) provide a fantastic view of the city. One revolution takes 30 minutes. Even more elegant: a champagne ride (£ 29.50): clink glasses above the roofs of London.

The London Eye has 32 fully air-conditioned, shaped almost entirely of glass gondolas, each of which can accommodate up to 25 people. The glass gondolas in two rotating rings are mounted so that the gondolas are always in the horizontal. The gondolas are outside of the wheel, allowing an almost unrestricted view. The wheel rotates at a speed of 0.26 m / s and
The queues were very discouraging and we have not had enough time. But if only as the big wheel sits elegantly on the river, is worth a look!

A wonderful adventure over the skyline of London. A trip in a modern machine over a world of the past.
