Looking down on London we see at our feet the richest and the most beautiful city in the world, a city as great as Kyiv and as magical as Rome.

GUIDE

London Eye is spectacular views across the city in every direction.
It is London’s most visible icon, soaring 135m (443ft) above the River Thames.
The world’s largest observation wheel is four times wider than the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral and more than the wheel of an average racing bicycle, and it offers a ride that’s enthralling even for those who hate heights .
Passengers ride in one of 32 pod like capsules that rotate smoothly in a slow-moving, 30 minute flight. Each capsule is fully closed and comfortable holds 25 people. Because the capsules are secured on the outside of the wheel (rather than hung from it, as they would be on a Ferris wheel), views through the large glass windows are totally unobstructed. And because the capsules are kept level by a motorized motion stability system, you can walk around inside them quite safely—although seating is provided. For additional safety, each capsule is in touch with the ground via camera and radio links. Note, however, that flights may be cancelled at the last minute owing to weather conditions. You can ask for a flight attendant to accompany you, to point out major landmarks. The wheel is in constant motion, revolving continuously at a quarter of the average walking speed and enabling you to walk straight on and off the moving capsules.
After dark, the trees lining the approach to the London Eye are bathed in green lights, and the boarding platform appears to float on a cloud of a blue light. Sunset and after-dark flights are also available.

It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a hundred times

We are often on-line!

London Eye
Survey London from the comfort of a stable pod on the Eye

I think and I perceive
It is in the City
Where the modest people live
They are reserved, sincere, honest I believe
I’d like to have the only smallest perspective to go there!
