London Sightseeing: The Eye

British Airways London Eye

The British Airways London Eye-- built for the year 2000 millenium-- soon became an important landmark and no wonder, with its striking visual appearance on the banks of the Thames.

Taking a flight on the giant wheel offers a rare chance to get a birds-eye view in London, a city not known for skyscrapers. (The Eye is the 6th highest structure in town.)
