The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a revolving observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is the world’s largest observation wheel and most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK. There are 32 capsules on the London Eye. They are numbered from 1 to 33 for superstitious reasons, with capsule 13 being left out for good luck. The wheel offers some of the greatest panoramic views of the city.
In March 2020, the London Eye celebrated its 20th birthday by turning several of its pods into experiences themed around London. The experiences included a pub in a capsule, a west end theatre pod and a garden party with flower arrangements to represent the eight London Royal parks. The wheel has transformed London’s landscape and stands today as a national symbol that celebrates Britain’s innovation and technological success in the 21st century.
