London Eye and the River Thames at Sunset
London Eye and the River Thames at Sunset
Viewed here from the Golden Jubilee Bridge, the London Eye is Europe's largest Ferris wheel. The entire structure is 443 feet tall and the wheel has a diameter of 394 feet; it is claimed that you can see for almost 25 miles from the top of the wheel on a clear day. When installed in 1999, it was originally intended to be a temporary structure, able to be dismantled and transported to a new location, and had planning permission for just five years but its popularity has prompted its lease to be extended. Today it is a permanent fixture on the London skyline.
