London Eye

The London Eye is like a super-duper big Ferris wheel that stands tall next to a famous river called the Thames. It's so big, it's like a giant bicycle wheel that people can ride inside! When it was built, it was the tallest Ferris wheel in the whole world. It's a very popular place for families and friends to visit and see amazing views.

You can find the London Eye in a busy city called London, in England. It sits right on the edge of the River Thames, which is a very long river that flows through the city. It's near two bridges, Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge. The closest place to catch a train is called Waterloo station. It's a super spot for taking pictures!

When you ride the London Eye, you get to sit in a special glass pod. These pods slowly move up, up, up! From the very top, you can see for miles and miles. You can spot famous buildings like the Houses of Parliament and even Buckingham Palace. It takes about 30 minutes to go all the way around, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the incredible sights.

The London Eye was built to celebrate the year 2000, which was a brand new century! That's why it was first called the Millennium Wheel. It was a special gift to London for the new millennium. It has become one of the most visited places in the United Kingdom, with millions of people riding it every year.
