London Eye short description in English. London Eye Ferris wheel: is this attraction worth visiting?! A short video review of the London Eye from me

Imagine if any city in the world could have an “all-seeing eye” from which nothing can be hidden! London has its own “eye”: it is one of the largest Ferris wheels in the world. Its view is 360⁰ and from there you can see all 32 areas of London. That's why it's called London Eye.

When you're in the UK's capital, be sure to visit the London borough of Lambeth on the south bank of the Thames. The London Eye will help you see the city from a bird's eye view and even a little higher! You will feel like you are sitting on the shoulders of a giant 135 meters high (about the level of the 45th floor!), and right in front of you, or rather below you, you will see the famous Big Ben and the Palace of Westminster.

A little history

The Eye of London was solemnly “opened” on December 31, 1999, for which it is sometimes called "The Millennium Wheel" or "The Wheel of the Millennium". As befits a Ferris wheel, as all Ferris wheels are sometimes called, the London Eye also presents its own surprises. The spectacular launch on the eve of the millennium took place without passengers, as one of the capsule cabins turned out to be faulty. Prime Minister Tony Blair nevertheless ceremoniously pressed the start button, and passengers waited until March to ride the attraction.

The London Eye has been plagued by bad luck even before. The point is that the newspaper Sunday Times in 1993 year held a competition to develop a monumental structure to welcome the new millennium. The competition was attended by husband-and-wife architects David Marks and Julia Barfield with a design for a Ferris wheel. As a result, no one was interested in the project and lost the competition. Fortunately for the residents of London, David and Julia are not used to giving up and therefore they themselves decided to make their dream come true. How many rapids were knocked down to obtain all kinds of permits from area residents, organizations, maritime and river departments, historical societies and officials! Moreover, the grandiose project was developed without the support of government agencies and construction companies. And the finances were found thanks to a chance meeting with neighbor Bob Elling, head of British Airways, during a trivial conversation about sending a Christmas card.

The couple implemented their project for 6 years, and how many obstacles were overcome: technical problems, corporate troubles, and debates with ardent opponents of the development. The topic of the wheel has not left the pages of English newspapers for several years. Many believed that it was inappropriate to spoil the historical center of the city in such a way that aesthetics were inferior to commerce. Moreover, the topic of the wheel was raised in parliament, because the construction site was located just opposite the Palace of Westminster!

The construction itself was not that long - only 16 months. The wheel parts were transported on barges along the Thames and assembled in a "lying" position on special platforms on the river. Then this colossus was lifted using a special system.

The most amazing thing is that the London Eye was conceived as a temporary structure and it had permission for a period of only for 5 years. Its expiration date ended in 2005, but the public loved this attraction so much that they could not part with it. So, “Glaza” has already suffered 15 years and there are high chances that it will last even longer. In general, a similar story happened with Eiffel Tower , which was installed temporarily as the entrance arch of the Paris World Exhibition of 1889. However, she became business card Paris!

Interesting Facts

Here is a selection of fascinating facts about the London Eye:

1,700 tons of steel were spent on this architectural miracle, and the total weight of the wheel was 2,100 tons. The riverside Ferris wheel is three times taller than Tower Bridge and four times wider than the dome of St Paul's Cathedral.
From a distance, the London Eye resembles a phantasmagorically giant bicycle wheel. You can ride the attraction in one of 32 transparent space-looking capsule cabins (representing 32 London boroughs), ordering strawberries, truffles and champagne.
Each capsule weighs 10 tons, but they are firmly fixed, as practice has confirmed. The capsules are equipped with air conditioning, heaters, a multimedia screen and wireless Internet, so you can post your selfies from the capsule straight to Instagram.
Each cabin is designed for 25 people. However, for those who want to be alone with their chosen one or chosen one, there is “Cupid’s Capsule”. True, this pleasure costs £360, but romance is guaranteed! Since the opening of the attraction on the wheel, 5,000 marriage proposals have been made (of which the organizers are aware), 512 weddings have taken place; More than 1.5 million glasses of champagne were drunk.
Cabin No. 2 has a special name – Coronation Capsule, which it received in June 2013 in honor of the 60th anniversary of the coronation of Elizabeth II.
It is not necessary to stand in the capsule, there is comfortable places for sitting. The capsules move almost silently, without swaying at all, so the feeling of reliability and comfort will not leave you. Inside the booths, on installed tablets, you can select the desired language and get details of the history of London by clicking on an object on the screen.
The London Eye can accommodate up to 800 passengers per revolution, which is equal to the capacity of 11 double-decker tourist buses.
The London Eye can be cloned! A number of cities want to acquire a similar profitable miracle on their land. This desire was expressed by representatives of Boston, Toronto, Sydney and several other cities, which upset the London tourist board.
The wheel works non-stop and makes a full revolution in 30 minutes. The rotation speed is 26 cm per second or approximately 15 meters per minute, or 0.9 km per hour, which allows visitors to enter and exit calmly and without panic. Over the course of a year, the London Eye rotates 7,668 times, covering 2,300 miles—the distance from London to Cairo.
Regarding the view: from the wheel you can see the London expanse for 40 miles. For a full turn you can see the Queen's Windsor residence, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Covent Garden and 55 other attractions, weather permitting.
Until 2008, the London Eye in the Guinness Book of Records was proudly called “the most big wheel reviews in the world." But later he lost the championship to the Singapore wheel - Singapore Flyer (165 meters).
The London Eye has received 75 national and international awards since its opening. international tourism for outstanding engineering achievements and architectural value.
The lighting is implemented with LED lighting from Color Kinetics to allow digital control of the lights. This property was used for illumination in honor of the New Year holidays, the opening of the 2012 Olympics, the anniversary of the reign of Elizabeth II and the birth of Prince George.
The London Eye has gone by different names: it was originally called the Millennium Wheel, then the British Airways London Eye, and later the Merlin Entertainments London Eye. And from January 2011, the attraction was called the ELE Energy London Eye for three years as a result of a deal with a sponsor. And now it's called Coca Cola London Eye.
The Wheel has become an iconic place for corporate parties, birthdays and weddings. On New Year and on Memorial Day, fireworks displays are held here, as well as filming and commercials.
The London Survey Wheel turned out to be a profitable business. 35 million British pounds (55 million US dollars) were invested in its construction. But in 2009 alone, according to the owner of the company Merlin Entertainment, it “generated” £25 million in profit, so it has long since paid for itself.
About 4 million people fly on it every year. In terms of the number of visitors, the “Eye” is ahead of the famous Indian Taj Mahal (2.4 million), Egyptian pyramids(3 million) and St. Paul's Cathedral (2 million).

The London Eye consists of 32 closed capsule cabins with a capacity of about 25 people (the Singapore Eye has slightly fewer cabins - 28).

What’s noteworthy is that the number of capsules is not random, as it symbolizes the number of London districts (exactly 32).

This is perhaps one of the most ambitious projects launched in London by the family of architects David Marks and Julia Barfield, which has ever been implemented at their own expense (meaning without government assistance).

Yes, yes, friends, the city did not allocate a single pound for this large-scale project. After all, the London Eye, you see, did not win the competition back in 1993.

Despite this, the Barfields were persistent guys. They did not intend to give up, and soon luck smiled at them. The family met Bob Elling, head of British Airways. From that moment on, everything became fine with finances and with the implementation of the idea.

In just six years, a Ferris wheel has grown on the south bank of the Thames, which now delights millions of tourists from all over the world.

By the way, interestingly, the London Eye has changed many names since its construction. At first it was called: "Millennium Wheel", then "British Airways London Eye" (no wonder, right?!), a little later "Merlin Entertainments London Eye", and also "ELE Energy London Eye" as a result of a contract with this company.

And now the Coca-Cola company is the sponsor of the London Eye, so the London Eye proudly bears the name Coca-Cola London Eye.

Tips for tourists visiting LondonEye(London Eye)

And now I will give some advice to all those who want to ride this attraction in the very center of London.

I see you're a little surprised? Or perhaps discouraged?! Like, what kind of bullshit did he do there?! How can you be in London and not take a ride on the London Eye? This is one of the symbols of the city!

Friends, you won’t believe it, but this is what I thought before going to London. When I visited the capital of Great Britain for the first time (back in 2000), this London Eye did not yet exist. When it was built, I told myself that I would definitely ride this Ferris wheel!

And now, 17 years later, I finally went for a ride.

But you know, after the London Eye, my wife and I visited the Walkie Talkie skyscraper for free, on the 35th floor of which, in addition to the observation deck, cafes and restaurants, there is a fantastic tropical garden - Sky Garden.

And after visiting the Sky Garden, I realized that the London Eye is just a “toy” in the hands of a capricious child. An attraction that costs like hell, but which is then forgotten. Since the journey lasts about 30 minutes. There are 10-15 of you in the booth. And everyone wants to take a photo. They poke fingers, make noise, etc.

And the atmosphere suddenly goes away. You don't feel particularly delighted. A wheel is like a wheel.

Although the views from the cabin are beautiful. I do not argue.

I say all this to mean that if you want to really enjoy an amazing panorama, feel the atmosphere of comfort, tranquility, privacy and hospitality - instead of spending a lot of money and visiting the London Eye - it is better to visit the Sky Garden.

There you will have a cool view of London, a sea of positivity, and a delicious latte with desserts!

I talked about this attraction (Sky Garden) in the article: "Sky Garden in London: simply a fantastic place!" . Be sure to read it.

You can also visit one of the most tall buildings London and Europe in general - the Shard skyscraper, on the 72nd floor of which there is a classroom observation deck. It's also much cooler than the London Eye! Judging by the opening panoramas, that’s right!

2. Well, if you still want to ride the Ferris wheel (well, it’s your dream, what can you do) - get tickets from a BIG BUS TOURS representative . Moreover, in a package. For example - three in one. It turns out cheaper this way.

For example, we took three excursions (London Eye, The London Dungeon and Madame Tussauds). Paid 94 pounds for two (visited London at the end of August 2017). If we had purchased these excursions separately, it would have been much more expensive.

If this option doesn’t suit you and you want to ride exclusively on the London Eye, then buy tickets online (this will be cheaper than at the box office).

3. I recommend riding the London Eye in the evening, when the lights in the city start to turn on. This way you will have more fun (at the end of August the optimal time to visit is 19:30). You will catch both the moment when the city is not yet illuminated, and the enchanting moment when the lights turn on. London at night and London during the day are two very different things.
