The London Eye is a giant Ferris wheel situated on the banks of the River Thames in
London, England. The entire structure is 135 metres (443 ft) tall and the wheel has a
diameter of 120 metres (394 ft).
•
It is the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe, and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the
United Kingdom, visited by over 3.5 million people annually. When erected in 1999 it was
the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, until surpassed first by the 160 m (520 ft) Star of
Nanchang in 2006 and then the 165 m (541 ft) Singapore Flyer in 2008. Supported by an
A-frame on one side only, unlike the taller Nanchang and Singapore wheels, the Eye is
described by its operators as "the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel". It
provides the highest public viewing point, and is the 20th tallest structure, in London.
3. •
The London Eye, or Millennium Wheel, was officially called the British Airways London Eye
and then the Merlin Entertainments London Eye. Since 20 January 2011, its official name is
the EDF Energy London Eye following a three-year sponsorship deal.
•
The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River
Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge, in the London Borough of
Lambeth. The site is adjacent to that of the former Dome of Discovery, which was built for the
Festival of Britain in 1951.
4. •
The London Eye was designed by architects Frank Anatole, Nic Bailey, Steve
Chilton, Malcolm Cook, Mark Sparrowhawk, and the husband-and-wife team of Julia Barfield
and David Marks.[3][8]
•
Mace were responsible for construction management, with Hollandia as the main steelwork
contractor and Tilbury Douglas as the civil contractor. Consulting engineers Tony Gee &
Partners designed the foundation works while Beckett Rankine designed the marine
worksNathaniel Lichfield and Partners assisted The Tussauds Group in obtaining planning
and listed building consent to alter the wall on the South Bank of the Thames. They also
examined and reported on the implications of a Section 106 agreement attached to the
original contract. Later, they also prepared planning and listed building consent applications
for the permanent retention of the attraction, which involved the co-ordination of an
Environmental Statement and the production of a planning supporting statement detailing the
reasons for its retention. The spindle, hub, and tensioned cables that support the rim
•
The rim of the Eye is supported by tensioned steel cables and resembles a huge spoked
bicycle wheel. The lighting was redone with LED lighting from Color Kinetics in December
2006 to allow digital control of the lights as opposed to the manual replacement of gels over
fluorescent tubes
5. •
The wheel was constructed in sections which were floated up the Thames on barges and
assembled lying flat on piled platforms in the river. Once the wheel was complete it was lifted
into an upright position by a strand jack system made by Enerpac. It was first raised at
2 degrees per hour until it reached 65 degrees, then left in that position for a week while
engineers prepared for the second phase of the lift. The project was European with major
components coming from six countries: the steel was supplied from the UK and fabricated in
The Netherlands by the Dutch company Hollandia, the cables came from Italy, the bearings
came from Germany (FAG/Schaeffler Group), the spindle and hub were cast in the Czech
Republic, the capsules were made by Poma in France (and the glass for these came from
Italy), and the electrical components from the UK.
•
The wheel's 32 sealed and air-conditioned ovoidal passenger capsules, designed and
supplied by Leitner-Poma, are attached to the external circumference of the wheel and
rotated by electric motors. Each of the 10-tonne (11-short-ton)capsules represents one of the
London Boroughs,[ and holds up to 25 people, who are free to walk around inside the
capsule, though seating is provided. The wheel rotates at 26 cm (10 in) per second (about
0.9 km/h or 0.6 mph) so that one revolution takes about 30 minutes. It does not usually stop
to take on passengers; the rotation rate is slow enough to allow passengers to walk on and
off the moving capsules at ground level. It is, however, stopped to allow disabled or elderly
passengers time to embark and disembark safely.
6. •
The London Eye was formally opened by the then Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on 31 December
1999, although it was not opened to the public until 9 March 2000 because of technical
problems. Since its opening, the Eye has become a major landmark and tourist attraction.
•
Since 1 January 2005, the Eye has been the focal point of London's New Year
celebrations, with 10-minute displays taking place involving fireworks fired from the wheel
itself.
•
In 2006 the Tussauds Group bought out the other two joint owners, British Airways and the
Marks Barfield family (the lead architects). Following Merlin Entertainments' purchase of the
Tussauds Group in 2007, it now owns 100% of the Eye. British Airways continued its brand
association, but from the beginning of 2008 the name 'British Airways' was dropped from the
logo.
•
On 12 August 2009 the London Eye saw another rebrand, this time being called "The Merlin
Entertainments London Eye" to show Merlin Entertainments' ownership. A new logo was
designed for the attraction—this time taking the actual form of an eye made out of London's
famous landmarks. This also came at the time when the new Merlin Entertainments London
Eye 4D Experience preflight show was launched underneath the ticket centre in County Hall.
7. •
During the bidding process of the 2012 Olympic Games, the London bid organisers announced the
Olympic emblem would be attached to the Eye for the duration of the 2012 Summer Olympics.[21]
•
On 5 June 2008 it was announced that 30 million people had ridden the London Eye since its opening in
March 2000.
•
In 2009 Merlin Entertainments opened a preflight 4D Experience at The London Eye, which is included in
the ticket price. The newly refurbished ticket hall and 4D cinema experience was designed by architect
Kay Elliott working with Merlin Studios project designer Craig Sciba. Merlin Studios later appointed
Simex-Iwerks as the 4D theatre hardware specialists. The film was written and directed by 3D director
Julian Napier and 3D produced by Phil Streather. The same year the first stage of a £12.5 million
capsule upgrade started. Each capsule was taken down and floated down the river to Tilbury Docks in
Essex.
•
In January 2011, a lighting-up ceremony marked the start of a three-year deal between nuclear company
EDF Energy and Merlin Entertainment. Merlin said EDF would help it reduce the London Eye's overall
carbon footprint using its expertise as the UK's largest producer of low-carbon electricity.[
