The London Eye, officially named the lastminute.com London Eye after its current sponsor, is a popular attraction on the South Bank in London, England. It's the world's largest cantilevered observation wheel, which began twirling in 2000 to mark the turn of the millennium. A ride, or "flight", in one of the wheel’s 32 glass-enclosed eye-shaped pods takes a gracefully slow 30 minutes and, weather permitting, offers views up to 25 miles in every direction from the top. The close-up views of the Houses of Parliament, just across the river, are the highlight of the ride. Interactive tablets provide multilingual information about landmarks as they come up in the skyline. The London Eye is the focal point of the capital's New Year's Eve fireworks, for which it is rigged with thousands of fireworks. Tickets must be pre-booked to ride the London Eye. If planning to take a river cruise or visit other sights, such as Madame Tussauds or the Sea Life London Aquarium, money can be saved by buying a combination ticket. Tube stations Waterloo and Westminster are both within five minutes' walk of the London Eye. The London Eye has an overall consumer score of 4.0 out of 5.0, based on 44 reviews.

The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It was designed by the husband-and-wife team of David Marks and Julia Barfield of Marks Barfield Architects. The idea for the London Eye originated as an entry submitted by Marks and Barfield to a competition in 1993 for a new landmark to commemorate the millennium in London. Although no winner was declared, Marks and Barfield undertook the development of the project themselves and found the site where the wheel now stands. Much of the funding was provided by British Airways. Construction began in 1998, and the wheel was put together over the river, in a horizontal position, before being pulled upright. The London Eye was ceremonially “opened” by Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 31, 1999, but did not admit its first paying passenger until March 9, 2000. Originally scheduled to be dismantled after five years, it was kept in place because of continued popularity. In 2006 a decorative LED lighting system was installed in order to make the wheel more prominent after dark. The structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a diameter of 120 metres (394 ft). When it opened to the public in 2000 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel. Its height was surpassed by the Star of Nanchang, in Nanchang, China in 2006. It is one of London’s most popular tourist attractions for which an admission fee is charged and is sometimes credited with sparking a worldwide revival of Ferris wheel construction.
