If your sitting just by the south bank you should... there is no excuse not to.. especially if you can see people queing.. you can just nip down stairs on the lunch hour and go on it !!
Interesting facts about London Eye: It took seven years and the skills of hundreds of people from five countries to make the London Eye a reality. The London Eye welcomes an average of 3.5 million customers every year. You would need 6,680 fully booked British Airways Boeing 747-400 jumbo jets to move that number of fliers! The London Eye can carry 800 passengers per revolution - equivalent to 11 London red doubled-decker buses. Each of the 32 capsules weighs 10 tonnes. To put that figure into perspective, it's the same weight as 1,052,631 pound coins or 5 Limo London vehicles! The total weight of the wheel and capsules is 2,100 tonnes - or as much as 1,272 London black cabs!
