Step1 History
The London Eye was formally opened by the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on 31 December 1999, although it was not opened to the public until 9 March 2000 because of technical problems . It opened in 2000 and was originally going to be a temporary structure to mark the Millennium. The Eye was floated up the Thames in sections and lifted into place by a big crane.
Step2: What is it?
The London Eye is the biggest wheel in the world. Its 135 metres (443 ft) high, and on a clear day you can see all the way to Windsor Castle, which is over 40 km (25 miles) away. It has 32 sections (cabins) and each one holds up to 25 people. Most people buy single tickets, but it is possible to hire out a whole pod. A ride takes 30 minutes, and as the Eye only travels at just under 1 km per hour, passengers get on and off while it is still moving. However, an average of ten thousand people visit every day.
Step3: Where is it?
The London Eye is on the Southbank of river Thames. Its a 5 minute walk from both Waterloo and Westminster Metro Stations.
