Offering unrivalled panoramic views across London, from the Houses of Parliament to St Paul’s Cathedral and even as far as Windsor Castle on a clear day, the London Eye is a must-see for first-time visitors and returning travellers alike.
Originally designed by Marks Barfield Architects to celebrate the turn of the millennium, this incredible structure has quickly become the UK’s most visited paid tourist attraction. Whether you're planning a romantic ride at sunset, a family experience, or a special occasion like a birthday or anniversary, the London Eye delivers unforgettable memories every time.
