There are many memorable tourist attractions in London, one of them is London eye. It is a giant Ferris wheel, located on the South Bank of the River Thames. Also known as the Millennium Wheel, London eye was the biggest Ferris wheel in the world until 2006, but even then it remains the largest in Europe. The ride on such tall wheel is called flight.

Перевод: В Лондоне есть множество незабываемых туристических достопримечательностей, одна из них - "Лондонский Глаз". Это огромное колесо обозрения, расположенное на Южном Берегу реки Темзы. Также известный как "Колесо Тысячелетия", "Лондонский Глаз" был самым большим колесом обозрения в мире до 2006, но даже после этого он остается самым большим в Европе. Поездку на таком высоком колесе называют полетом. Строительство колеса закончилось в 1999, но оно оставалось закрытым до 2000 года. Когда оно открылось для общественности, многие люди наконец смогли насладиться красивым видом на Темзу. "Лондонский Глаз" предлагает туристам отличный наблюдательный пункт, так подходящий для фотографии. Фактически, "Колесо Тысячелетия" предоставляло самую высокую общественную наблюдательную площадку в Лондоне до 2013 года. Каждая капсула колеса фотографирует своих пассажиров в конце полета. "Лондонский Глаз" - прекрасное место для посещения в Лондоне.
