Take A Look At Our Ecards.
The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, came into service in March 2000. It is a Ferris wheel that sends more than 3 million tourists in a great circle around its circumference, each year.
By day the London Eye is not very attractive looking. It sits as a huge mechanical wheel tethered on the south bank of the Thames in the heart of London, within a short walk from Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, and the Houses of Parliament. It clashes with the architecture of the Tower of Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and Westminster Bridge.
By night, illuminated with lilac floodlights, it looks altogether different.
And in the morning, seen over the tops of buildings from the direction of Trafalgar Square, it still looks like something from a fairy tale land of ladies in high towers waiting for knights to rescue them.
Side Note
The name ‘Ferris wheel’ takes its name from that designed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. and erected as a landmark for the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
