Landmarks - London Eye

The London Eye, opened in March 2000, quickly became a top tourist attraction in Britain. Initially met with skepticism, it now offers unparalleled views of London. Designed by Julia Barfield and David Marks, the Eye was constructed with support from British Airways and the Two Swords Group. It features 32 capsules, each weighing 10 tons, and provides a 30-minute rotation experience. The Eye has been featured in films and TV shows and is a popular venue for weddings and proposals. Despite being intended as a temporary structure, its popularity suggests it will remain a fixture in London for years.
