  London Eye This evening, I am providing images and information on the famous London Eye landmark in London , England. Summary information as follows: Located on London’s South Bank and ranks at the fourth tallest ferris wheel in the world. Dimensions are: 443 feet high and 394 foot diameter. Opened to the public in 2000 and now ranks as the most popular paid visitor attraction in the U.K. with about 3.75m visitors annually. Now the second highest viewing point in London. Originally intended as a temporary attraction but since extended to permanent tenure. The structure incorporates thirty-two sealed, air-conditioned capsules each of which can accommodate up to twenty-eight persons. Each revolution lasts about thirty minutes.
