London Eye transformed to celebrate 20 years

It was installed as a temporary tourist attraction, a giant ferris wheel on the Thames to mark the Millennium. After 20 years, the London Eye is still turning and it's hard to remember the city's skyline without it.

It is now the capital's most popular paid tourist attraction, a chance to get high above London and look back down at it.

One of the London Eye's iconic pods has been transformed into a mini pub, as the world-famous attraction celebrates its 20th anniversary.

Visitors heading to The King Vic will be able to sip on a pint of ale in a quintessentially British pub setting, while taking in views of the capital.

The immersive experience are just one of 19 experiences which the London Eye has created in partnership with Lastminute.com to mark the landmark's 20th birthday.

Other pods will include a lavish garden party with complete with flower arrangements in a tribute to London's eight Royal Parks, a West End theatre-themed pod complete with performances from iconic musicals, and even a throne room where guests can sit on thrones while posing for a selfie with the Madame Tussauds Queen Elizabeth figure.

Tickets are on sale between 6-9 March with all proceeds from our birthday will be donated to Merlin’s Magic Wand.
