The London Eye is an observation wheel that offers breathtaking views of the capital city from high above the River Thames. Relax in one of its 32 high-tech glass capsules and enjoy the London skyline at your leisure. The experience lasts for approximately 30 minutes, which is the time it takes for the London Eye to revolve completely. During the ride, you will see Big Ben towering over the Houses of Parliament, and also follow St. James Park as it sweeps down to the Buckingham Palace.
