About the wheel
135 metres above the Thames.
Standing 135 metres tall on the South Bank, the London Eye is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel. Each of its 32 glass capsules carries you on a slow, 30-minute rotation with 40-kilometre views across the city.
On a clear day you'll see Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral, the Shard and Windsor Castle on the western horizon.
