The London Eye is a unique and versatile structure, comprising the best of British architecture and design, rising high above London's skyline at 135 metres. Creating the tallest observation wheel in the world was a great challenge. 
Interesting Facts about LONDON EYEThe London Eye can carry 800 passengers per revolution - equivalent to 11 London red doubled-decker buses
It took seven years and the skills of hundreds of people from five countries to make the London Eye a reality
You can see around 40KM (25 miles) from the top as far as Windsor Castle on a clear day
The London Eye welcomes an average of 3.5 million customers every year. You would need 6,680 fully booked British Airways Boeing 747-400 jumbo jets to move that number of fliers!
Each rotation takes about 30 minutes, meaning a capsule travels at a stately 26cm per second, or 0.9km (0.6 miles) per hour - twice as fast as a tortoise sprinting; allowing passengers to step on and off without the wheel having to stop
