LONDON EYE

 

You can see around 40KM (25 miles) from the top on a clear day.

The London Eye can carry 800 passengers per revolution:                                                       equivalent to 11 London red doubled-decker buses.

Each of the 32 capsules weighs 10 tonnes.

Each rotation takes about 30 minutes.

The total weight of the wheel and capsules is 2,100 tonnes:                                                                or as much as 1,272 London black cabs! 

The height of the London Eye is 135m (equivalent to 64 red telephone boxes piled on top of each other) making it the fourth tallest structure in London

Built in 1999
