( Do not miss )
This giant landmark wheel was erected as part of the capital's Millennium celebrations and, despite a few technical hitches (its grand opening was postponed for extra safety checks), has quickly become one of the hottest attraction tickets in town. Its 32 observation capsules soar majestically 443ft (135m) directly above the Thames, making it the tallest wheel of its kind in the world. A full revolution takes 30 minutes, offering magnificent views right across the heart of central London and far beyond. A limited number of seats are available to personal callers (these are quickly snapped up), the rest are bookable by telephone. The best advice is to book well ahead so as not to miss out.
