London: Starry Eye
By July 2002, 8.5 million people had ridden the Eye, the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom. It had planning permission only for five years, but at that time Lambeth Council agreed to plans to make the attraction permanent.
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.

London: Tower Bridge traffic
The Tower Bridge takes its name from its location, not its design: the name Tower Bridge was in use before the towered design was decided upon.
It is still a busy and vital crossing of the Thames: it is crossed by over 40,000 people (motorists, cyclists and pedestrians) every day.

London: Eye & Big Ben
Big Ben is the nickname for the great bell of the clock at the north end of the Palace of Westminster in London, and is often – incorrectly – extended to refer to the clock or the clock tower as well.
It is the largest four-faced chiming clock and the third-tallest free-standing clock tower in the world. It celebrated its 150th anniversary in May 2009, during which celebratory events took place. The clock first ticked on 31 May 1859.
