Life in the UK Test 40
Which British landmark was built as part of the UK's celebration of the new millennium?
Correct Answer: The London Eye
The London Eye was built as part of the UK's celebration of the new millennium. The giant observation wheel stands on the South Bank of the River Thames in London, opposite the Houses of Parliament. It was opened in March 2000.
At 135 metres (443 ft), it was the world's tallest observation wheel when it opened. The London Eye was designed by architects David Marks and Julia Barfield and carries 32 capsules, each holding up to 25 passengers. Originally intended as a temporary structure, it became so popular that it remains a permanent feature of the London skyline and is one of the most visited paid attractions in the UK.
