The capital city of Britain, London, has a large choice of highly entertaining visitor attractions, from the immensely ancient to the very latest additions. The vast majority of the visitor attractions are familiar all around the planet (such as, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace the Tower of London). Amongst the most recently added are the Millennium Dome, London Aquarium, Millennium Bridge and the London Eye.
The Merlin Entertainments London Eye (to give it its correct title), is more frequently referred to as, simply, the London Eye or,from time to time, the Millennium Wheel (because it was constructed as part of the Millennium celebrations). The Merlin Entertainments London Eye was officially opened by the then English P.M., Tony Blair, on the evening of December 31st but, sadly, there was a number of technical problems which led to it not opening to the public until March 2000. It was, at that time, the largest Ferris wheel in the world at a height of four hundred and forty three feet.
The gigantic wheel can be discovered in Jubilee Gardens on the South Bank looking over to the Houses of Parliament below. From within one of the 32 capsules towering above London you are able to view a large number of the many London landmarks, the Houses of Parliament, St Paul's, Buckingham Palace, Hampton Court Palace and Westminster Abbey are just a few, what a great (and unique) way to see nearly all of London and, more thank likely, one of the reasons it is one of the most popular paid for attraction in London.
The first flight on the London Eye is at 10 'o clock in the morning but the ticket office opens at 9.30 am. The Eye closes at 9.30 pm between August and July, 8pm between October and April and at nine at night for the other months of the year.
Visitors traveling in a car will be pleased to know that there are 3 car parks nearby. For those traveling in coach parties there is parking incredibly close to the Eye (Telephone) +44 (0)870 990 8886) for details.
