The wheel was the tallest observation wheel in the world at a height of 135 metres, but the title was later overtook by the Star of Nanchang in China. The wheel was sponsored by Coca-Cola in 2014. The wheel is made up of steel and aluminum, with an automated system to rotate the wheel. The wheel takes 30 minutes for one full rotation with the speed being a foot a minute. The wheel is one of the most paid attractions in London with nearly 10 million rides every year.

  • The London Eye is lit up red to represent red poppies in celebration of Poppy Day (also known as: Remembrance Day, Veterans Day, and Armistice Day). Poppy Day is celebrated on November 11. In the included picture, a building behind the Eye is also decorated with red poppies. The red poppy flower is used in the movie The Wizard of Oz to represent the sedative effects of the Wicked Witch's spell. The reason for this is that another variety of poppy plant is the source for opium which typically has red flowers. It's highly ironic that a plant similar to one with a sedative, sleepy effect, is used on a day called "Remembrance Day." The Eye itself evokes pictures of the sun, historically drawn with a circle with a dot in the middle, as well as pictures of other "eyes," including the Eye of Sauron from the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

The London Eye the largest wheel of its kind, and should not be confused with the London I, a large and rather pointless sculpture of the letter 'i', and the Great Eye of London, a gigantic eyeball that inexplicably appears over London from time to time. Yes, I'm serious. Don't tell me you've never seen it.

The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, in the London Borough of Lambeth.
