The London Eye is located at Riverside Building, County Hall, Westminster Bridge Road, London, SE1 7PB.  It is 443 feet high.  It is also known as the Millennium Wheel and was designed as part of a competition to design something to bring in the new millennium.  It opened in 2000.  It is on the edge of the Thames River and offers 360 degree views as it spins around.  It is the tallest observation wheel in the world.  It is on a slow rotation, with each ride taking about 30 minutes.  It rotates slow enough for passengers to climb in and out as it continues rotating.  

The London Eye is very close to the Westminster Bridge, and across the street from Big Ben

The London Eye was featured in several movies, including the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, as seen in this movie clip:  London Eye in the Fantastic Four
