About The London Eye

The London Eye, a masterpiece of modern engineering, was ceremonially opened on New Year's Eve 1999 and welcomed its first public visitors in March 2000. Designed by Marks Barfield Architects, this impressive 135-metre tall cantilevered observation wheel has garnered over 85 awards for its outstanding architectural quality, engineering achievement, and contribution to national and international tourism. It stands as a symbol of London's innovative spirit and offers a unique vantage point over the city's historic landscape.
