The London was opened on New Years Eve 1999,four hours before the millennium and at the time was known at the millennium eye. It was built to mark the start of a new millennium.

The London Eye was designed by David Marks and Julia Barfield and built by a company called Mace.

The London Eye was originally planned to be a temporary attraction however due to it’s huge success it was decided it should stay. The London eye is now one of the most popular attractions in London and allows passengers to take in great sites and views of London.

    I have visited the ”London Eye” and found it to be most interesting.
    I have a question! I once saw a documentry on the T.V. many years ago about the building and erection of the ”London Eye” and have never been able to find a copy of that program since then.
    Can any one help me????
