The London Eye, an observation wheel similar to a giant
Ferris wheel, is located on the banks of the River Thames outside County Hall across
the river from the Palace of Westminster. The ticket office is located in the County
Hall building. The wheel is in constant but slow rotation taking approximately 30
minutes to rotate once, reaching a height of 135 meters at the top of the rotation.
The views throughout are spectacular and constantly changing.
The London Eye is open from 10:00am until 9:00pm daily during the Summer months
of June through September, closing an hour earlier during the Winter months. Individual
ticket prices are £14.50 per adult and £7.25 for children. This attraction is very
popular and advance booking is recommended. The nearest tube station is Westminster.
