The London Eye is a very popular tourist attraction in London. It is a giant observation wheel. It is situated on the South Bank of the Thames. It is visited by over 3.5 million people every year. The wheel structure is 135 metres tall and a diameter of it is 120 metres . There are 32 capsules. In each capsules there are 25 passengers. Each egg-shaped capsule is 8 meters long and weighs 500kg. The wheel revolves very slowly. So people can board or disembark without its stopping.
A complete turn takes about 30 minutes. Passengers have a great view of London. They can see many famous landmarks such as Buckingham Palace, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. On a clear day you can see as far as 40 km The London Eye is open year round, except for Christmas Day and one week in January. I would like to visit this attraction.
