London Eye
Attraction · South Bank, England
The operator gives the opening year as 2000, the height as 135 metres and a full rotation as about 30 minutes. There are 32 glass capsules, each representing one of London's boroughs, numbered 1 to 33 with number 13 skipped, and each capsule holds up to 28 guests. The operator publishes a value for the current day only and states that closing times vary through the year, so no daily schedule is given here.
