SIGHTS OF LONDON

The London Eye

The London Eye is 135 meters high which makes it the world's tallest observation wheel. It has 32 capsules and carries around 10,000 visitors every day. The London Eye has become the most popular paid-for UK visitor attraction, visited by over 3.5 million people a year. While travelling in complete safety you can see up to 40 kilometers away in all directions from each capsule.

In 2009, a 4D Film Experience was added as a free extra to enjoy before your ride on the Eye.

About 160 visitors will pass through the 4D cinema every 8 minutes so don t worry about waiting as the cinema is more spacious than it first seems.
