The London Eye is one of the most popular attractions in London, and it is a cantilevered observation wheel on the south bank of the river. It is the tallest cantilevered observation wheel and one of the most popular tourist attractions in the UK.
The best opportunity for any visitors of London who want to learn English and enjoy the country attractions at the same time.
The structure is 135 meters (443 feet) high, and the wheel has a diameter of 120 meters (394 feet). When it opened to the public in 2000, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. Its height was surpassed by the Star of Nanchang of 160 meters (525 feet) in 2006, the Singapore Flyer of 165 meters (541 feet) in 2008, and the High Roller (Las Vegas) of 167 meters (548 feet) in 2014. With supported by an A-shaped structure on one side, unlike the tallest wheels in Nanchang and Singapore, the Eye is described by its operators as "the tallest cantilevered observation wheel in the world".
The London Eye used to offer the highest public viewing platform in London until it was replaced by the 245-meter-high (804-foot) observation deck on the 72nd floor of The Shard, which opened to the public on February 1, 2013.
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (formerly the site of the ancient Dome of Discovery), on the south bank of the River Thames, between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, next to County Hall, in the district Londoner from Lambeth. The nearest tube station is Westminster, 420 meters (1,378 feet) away.
