The London Eye Complete Tour | Amazing Views Across London (Feb 2022) [4K]

[4K] The London Eye, join us on Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel as we take in the breath-taking views across London's iconic skyline on this beautiful clear day

The London Eye is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom and on this good clear day you can see some of London's most famous landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, BT Tower, Westminster Abbey, Elizabeth Clock Tower (Big Ben), Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's, The Tate Museum, Tower Bridge, The Shard and of course the beautiful Thames River sparkling in the sunlight.

The London Eye is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft) and is located on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge beside County Hall in the London Borough of Lambeth. The attraction is accessible from several tube stations including Waterloo, Westminster, Charing Cross and Embankment.

It was designed by the husband and wife team of Julia Barfield and David Marks of Marks Barfield Architects and was formally opened by the then Prime Minister Tony Blair on 31st December 1999. However, it did not open to the paying public until 9 March 2000 because of a capsule clutch problem. Originally intended to be only a temporary attraction to celebrate the millennium, operators submitted an application to Lambeth Council to give the London Eye permanent status and the application was granted in July 2002.

The London Eye is currently operated by Merlin Entertainments and sponsored by lastminute.com. Previous sponsors have been Coca-Cola and British Airways, who were the original owners.

As of Feb 2022, the price of a single standard ticket is £27 with usual opening hours 11:00 to 18:00. Combination tickets are available with deals for multiple attractions including Sea Life London, Shrek's Adventure, The London Dungeon and Madame Tussauds.

The London Eye is part of the Merlin Annual Pass attractions and pass holders can experience the London Eye for free with their pass.
