A Bit of History
The construction of the London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, began in 1998. The wheel was assembled over the River Thames in a horizontal position before being raised upright. It was later opened by Prime Minister Tony Blair on December 31, 1999, and welcomed the first paying passengers on March 9, 2000. Standing at 443 feet (135 meters), it was the world’s tallest Ferris wheel until 2006. Designed by architects David Marks and Julia Barfield, the London Eye has become a symbol of modern London and a must-visit attraction for tourists from around the globe.
So, why not treat yourself to an afternoon of indulgence, breathtaking views, and a little bit of history? Whether it’s a special occasion or just because, the London Eye’s Afternoon Tea is an experience you won’t want to miss. Cheers to sips, scones, and skylines!
