Byline: DEREK McGOVERN

THE London Eye The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, is a Ferris Wheel (or observation wheel) in London, England. At the time of building, it was the biggest in the world, although there are now larger wheels, such as The Star of Nanchang, which was opened in May 2006.  has been a massive hit because the giant wheel offers the chance to see everything London has to offer - like traffic jams, beggars, stab victims, and Fulham.

She loved it, but now she goes on the London Eye 12 times a day.

Next London Eye sponsor: 8-1 02, London Olympics, 10-1 Virgin, Adidas, Vodafone, 12-1 BP, Lloyds, Shell, 14-1 EDF Energy, Tesco, 16-1 Coca-Cola, Mastercard, McDonalds, Visa, Nike, 18-1 bar
