On this page you will find some of my photos of the London Eye, sometimes called the Millennium Wheel in London, England. For those who have not been its basically a big wheel like you get at many theme parks, just a lot bigger and with nice air conditioned capsules that give great views over the London Skyline. The London Eye is 135 metres (443 ft) tall!
When was the London eye built?
The London Eye was officially opened on New Years Eve 1999, just four hour before the start of the new Millennium.
Who opened the London Eye?
It was opened by Tony Blair, the Prime Minister at the time.
Can you get cheap London Eye tickets?
I don't know of anywhere that gives you any extra discounts on ticket prices, but they do quite a few cheap concessions. The last time we went it was cheap, as I got a discounted ticket for being disabled, my wife is my carer, so she was free and my daughter was very young at the time, so she went free! I don't know how much tickets for the London Eye are now, they might not be cheap, but I am sure they are still worth every penny.
Why go on the London Eye?
Its a great way of getting a birds eye view of London. It is very slow, so even if you don't like going round on a Big Wheel or Ferris wheel then you may still enjoy it. My wife does not like heights, but even she had a good time. Most of the people on there seem to be on holiday in England, but you do get locals on there too.
