Give panoramas of the city that leave you speechless.]]> 2018-04-02 15:14:49 UTC https://padlet.com/fiore_alissa6/r570xla8sxmw/wish/247831268 fiore_alissa6 https://padlet.com/fiore_alissa6/r570xla8sxmw/wish/247832010 It took 7 years and 75 million pounds to build it. Work began in 1998: the main components of the structure were built elsewhere and, once ready, were transported to London. The London Eye was officially inaugurated (by Tony Blair) on December 31, 1999, but due to technical problems the public had to wait until March 2000 to take the first lap.]]> 2018-04-02 15:17:01 UTC https://padlet.com/fiore_alissa6/r570xla8sxmw/wish/247832010 fiore_alissa6 https://padlet.com/fiore_alissa6/r570xla8sxmw/wish/247833323 The London Eye is the fourth tallest structure in London. It is 135 meters high, that is as 64 red telephone boxes placed one above the other. The circumference is 424 meters, which is equivalent to 201 telephone booths.  
 it moves at 0.9 km per hour and it takes 30 minutes for a complete tour. At this speed, the wheel runs 26 cm per second and so you do not even have to stop to let people get off and up (it stops only to allow disabled and elderly people to safely enter and exit the capsules). The capsules of the London Eye are numbered from 1 to 33, but in reality they are only 32. For reasons of superstition, the number 13 has been skipped. Each capsule symbolizes one of the London districts, weighs 10 tons and can hold 25 people. At every turn the wheel carries 800 people, the equivalent of 11 double-deckers (red double-decker buses). The capsules can also be rented to make us (almost) what you want.]]> 2018-04-02 15:20:27 UTC https://padlet.com/fiore_alissa6/r570xla8sxmw/wish/247833323 fiore_alissa6 https://padlet.com/fiore_alissa6/r570xla8sxmw/wish/247835033 1)In the evening the London Eye is illuminated, but it can also give life to a real show of lights; for example, to celebrate the marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton was lit up with the colors of Union Jack (blue, white and red).
2)The capsules of the London Eye are numbered from 1 to 33, but in reality they are only 32. For reasons related to superstition, the number 13 has been skipped.
3)About Royal: on clear days, from the top of the London Eye you can see up to 40 km away, that is, up to Windsor Castle, in the most distant suburbs of the city.
