This fantastic landmark was completed in January 2000 after more than seven years in construction, by a team of engineers from across five European countries. The London Eye rises majestically from the Jubilee Gardens on the South bank of the River Thames one hundred and thirty-five metres into the London skyline. The Eye weighs more than sixteen hundred tonnes and incorporates over four miles of cables. From the highest point, you can see twenty-five miles in every direction giving a spectacular view of St. Paul’s Cathedral, Windsor Castle, Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster.
The London Eye is the world largest observation wheel and one of the tallest structures in the skies of London. Each of the thirty-two capsules holds up to twenty-five passengers and as such the London Eye attracts an average of more than fifteen thousand visitors per day.
The London Eye grew from the imagination of husband and wife architects, Julia Barfield and David Marks as a monument for the new Millennium. Visitors to The London Eye will also find themselves within close proximity to the IMAX cinema and the London Aquarium. Tickets for The Eye start at £27 for adults (correct as at March 2020), and are cheapest when booked in advance.
If you are looking for a beautiful, unique and truly inspirational venue for your wedding why not say 'Eye Do' 135 meters above the majestic sights of London in your own private capsule, beautifully decorated with flowers? The iconic attraction has hosted hundreds of brides and grooms since 2001 and is one of the most unique ways to celebrate the ultimate display of love and commitment.
