The
British Airways London Eye - London's Giant Observation Wheel,
finally became operational in January 2000. Standing proud in London's
Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames the British
Airways London Eye is a focal point of the Nation's celebration of
the New Century. The Wheel is the largest of its kind ever to be
built, at a height of 135m (450feet) and 1600 tons.
Some of the sites that can be seen from the wheel include The
Imperial War Museum; The Globe Theatre; The Oval Cricket Ground;
The Tate Gallery; Westminster
Abbey; The
Houses of Parliament and Big Ben; The
Tower of London; St. Paul's Cathedral;
The National Portrait Gallery; Buckingham
Palace; The British
Museum; The Telecommunications Tower. |
