London Eye

At number 1 we have the most visited and highly recommended site to visit in London, The London Eye. Located on the bank of the River Thames, this site is ranked as number 1 in the list of the most visited tourist location of London. This location has been named the London Eye primarily because of the giant Ferris wheel located in the center.


According to a number of survey and reports, it has been estimated that more than 3.5 million tourists come to visit this location on a yearly basis. The structure was erected in the year 1999 and at that time it was considered to be the tallest Ferris wheel in the whole world until it was replaced by the 160 meters high, Star of Nanchang. In the year 2011, the name of this site had been changed to EDF energy London Eye. Located on the South Bank of the Rover Thames, it had been built initially for the festival of Britain in the year 1951. All the capsules attached to the main structure are air conditioned and have been designed by Leitner-Poma. In terms of critical reception, this site has received mostly positive evaluations from the people like Sir Richard Rogers and many others. It is also said the London Eye has done the same for London like the Eiffel Tower has done for Paris. Not only the residents and tourists, but some of the political figures of the city also come to experience the joy of this site. So, in order to absorb London, this site must be visited.
