The London Eye, or the Millennium Wheel, is a cantilevered observation wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is Europe's tallest cantilevered observation wheel, and the most popular paid tourist attraction in the United Kingdom with over three million visitors annually. It has made many appearances in popular culture.

The London Eye adjoins the western end of Jubilee Gardens (previously the site of the former Dome of Discovery), on the South Bank of the River Thames between Westminster Bridge and Hungerford Bridge beside County Hall, in the London Borough of Lambeth. The nearest tube station is Waterloo.

The London Eye was designed by the husband-and-wife team of Julia Barfield and David Marks of Marks Barfield Architects.

Mace was responsible for construction management, with Hollandia as the main steelwork contractor and Tilbury Douglas as the civil contractor. Consulting engineers Tony Gee & Partners designed the foundation works while Beckett Rankine designed the marine works.


Our County Hall venue is as stunning on the inside as it is on the outside with over 68,000 sq ft of multi use event space over two floors for conferences, meetings and events. Situated on London's Southbank it is in a great location with breathtaking views over The Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye.

The County Suite can accommodate larger groups, but when combined with the multi purpose event space, The Thames Suite we can cater for a self-contained event (who get to enjoy those enviable views!). This fantastic space is supported by a range of smaller conference suites and meeting rooms as well as exclusive use opportunities and private dining options. Our design team has sympathetically restored this charming building keeping original features coupled with high quality design in classic copper and velvety tones. All of this and only minutes away from Waterloo and Westminster stations.
