At 135 meters, Coca-Cola London Eye is the world’s largest cantilevered observation wheel at 135. It was launched in 2000 and was supposed to be a temporary structure. The Eye became such a hit with millions of people boarding it every year. Due to its popularity it became a permanent fixture near the River Thames opposite the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. It is the most popular paid for attraction in England.

During the 30-minute rotation, the London Eye offers visitors a new perspective of London’s skyline.  There are view of several of London’s most iconic landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abby, and The Tower Bridge just to mention a few.
