The Millennium Eye, also known as the London Eye, is a giant observation wheel located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, England. Standing at 135 meters (443 feet) tall, it was completed in 1999 and has since become one of the city's most iconic landmarks. The structure offers panoramic views of London, allowing visitors to see famous sites such as the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. The Millennium Eye was designed by architects David Marks and Julia Barfield and was initially intended to be a temporary attraction for the Millennium celebrations. However, its popularity led to it becoming a permanent fixture. Each of its 32 glass capsules can hold up to 25 people, providing a unique experience for tourists and locals alike.
