The London Eye isn't just one of London's top tourist, attractions, it's an extraordinary piece of engineering design and architecture.
Since opening in March 2000 The London Eye has become an iconic landnrark and a symbol of modern Britain. The London Eye is the UK's most popular paid for visitor attraction, visited by over 3,5 million people a year.
A breathtaking feat of design and engineering, passengers in the l.ondon Eye's capsules can see up to 40 kilometres in all directions.
The London Eye is the vision of David Marks and Julia Barfield, a husband and wife architect team. The wheel design was used as a metaphor for the end of the 20th century, and time turning into the new mjjlenn<unl,
Back in 2000, the Lou<lou Eye was known as the Mj.llenniun< Whack Ai, that, time, British Airways was the main sponsor, and up '<ntil November 2005 they were ,joint sha<eholdcrs with Marks Barfield Architects and The Tussauds Group. British Airways also privately funded
the London Eye project from the early stages of conception.
Today, the London Eye is operated by the London Eye Company Limited, a Merlin Entertainments Group Company.
The London Eye has won over 75 awards for national and international tourism, outstanding architectural quality and engineering achievement since opening in March 2000.
Constructing the London Eye was a massive challenge. It's the tallest cantilevered observation wheel in the world, rising high above the London skyline at 135 metres. It was a piece of daring innovation and revolutionary design which combined the best of British design, architecture and engineering with an exceptional team of experts.
The London Eye passenger capsules incorporate an entirely new design form for an observation wheel. Instead of being suspended under the wheel they turn within circular mounting rings fixed to the outside of the main rim. The result is a stunning 360 degree panoramic view from the top of the wheel.
The London eye has 32 capsules, representing the 32 boroughs of London. Capsules have 360 degree views, a heating and cooling system and bench seating.
Any visitor to the London Eye can't help but be amazed by the incredible six backstay cables holding the wheel in place. And then, when you look up you see the wheel cables stretching across the rim aml the wheel. The wheel cables include 16 rim rotation cables, and 64 spoke cables, which are similar to bicycle spokes, holding the rim tight to the central spindle.
