The London Eye, built originally as part of the Millenium celebrations in 2000, was originally intended to stand for only five years. It soon became obvious, however, that it was extremely popular and so it became a permanent part of the London skyline.
A group visit to the Eye begins with a short 4D Cinema film about its construction. There are 30 ‘capsules’ and a ‘flight’ takes thirty minutes with – on a clear day – magnificent views across London and beyond.
There are excellent downloadable education packs that can be found on the website.
