Opened at the beginning of 2000 in honour of the Millennium, and known as both the London Eye and the Millennium Wheel, this huge 450-foot ferris wheel on the South Bank gives a fabulous bird's eye view of London, if your stomach is strong enough. The spectacular views stretch for 25 miles on a clear day to include views of Windsor and Tunbridge Wells. Up to 25 people can fit in each of the wheel's "capsules." The wheel turns surprisingly slowly- it takes thirty minutes to go round, so you will have plenty of time to spot landmarks and take photos. Admission is £10.50 Adults; £5 Children under 16; Children under 6 free; Seniors £8.50.
