It was erected in the year of 1999 and was the tallest Ferris wheel in the universe. But in May 2006, the Star of Nanchang which was160 m became the tallest Ferris Wheel and then on 11th of Feb 2008 the Singapore Flyer which was 165 m became the tallest. . But, it is still mentioned by its owners and operators as the world's tallest cantilevered observation wheel. This is told because the entire wheel and other parts of it are supported by an A-frame on one side only !!

Pictures of London eye are present in this blog
Places to see OUTSIDE London eye - River Thames, Big Ben, Parliament House, Tower Bridge, London Bridge.
On the last Sunday which was the 1st Aug 2010, me and my family had been to visit the places near London Eye. The cost of the tickets were for around 15 pounds per person. We did not buy the tickets as we had already been inside the London Eye once. It is one of the biggest wheels in the world and takes around 25 to 30 minutes to complete one rotation during which the people sitting inside the egg shaped compartments of the London eye can view various places of London through the glass walls. I am not sure at what points you can see which places. But I hope that in the near future they introduce a recorded voice in each shell which would tell in which direction the various places were. There is plenty of space for quite a lot of people. The last time I went there, we were around 8 people and there were others too which were around another 8. I think there is a provision of setting the automatic cameras on the London eye shells to take your pics when you stand at the proper locations as directed inside the vessel.
You get this view of beautiful buildings, the Swiss bank, the Big Ben, the Parliament building, the Thames river etc.. Before entering the London eye vessels, they show you a 3D video which is cool too.
I would recommend you to visit London eye in the evening when there is enough light to view the places from the top. But when you get down, it is better being in the dark. I mean it is very beautiful at night. The London eye gets its blue colour and the passage way in front of it, which has trees on both the sides is lit up with blue lights. It’s a very beautiful scene. Good for taking pictures.
When you get out of the London Eye and start walking towards your right, you can see the Thames river on your right and behind it you can see the Big Ben and the Parliament house which are good backgrounds for taking pictures. In the night the parliament house and the Big Ben are lit up with lights and look very beautiful. They look as if made out of gold. When you walk further you reach a bridge and when you take a right turn to actually walk on the bridge, you get a full view of the London eye on the right and the big Ben and the parliament house on the left. These are very very good places to take pictures. I also took my wife's picture with a Scottish pied piper on the bridge. You get fresh and hot dogs on the bridge with friend onions, you also get other snacks and souvenirs on the bridge.
I guess you are not allowed to take drinks and food inside the London Eye shell, but I did see a group of posh office people in suits drinking Champagne inside the London eye car.
There is a McDonalds near London Eye in case you are hungry and two other shops which serve hot dogs, ice cream etc..
In the same mall where McDonalds is, there is play Casino and loads of other games to play including video games, coin games, bowling etc.
