Celebrating 25 years, the London Eye has become a global symbol of London’s skyline since its March 9, 2000 opening. Originally designed for a 1993 competition, it made its first full rotation on New Year’s Eve 1999. Standing 135 meters tall, it was once the world’s largest observation wheel and remains a top attraction. With 30 million+ visitors, it offers unmatched 360° views of Big Ben, St. Paul’s, The Shard, and more, cementing its legacy as an engineering marvel.
