2. How long does a single rotation on the London Eye typically take?
A complete rotation on the London Eye typically takes approximately 30 minutes. The wheel moves at a slow, steady pace, ensuring a smooth and comfortable experience for all passengers. This allows visitors ample time to take in the breathtaking views and capture memorable photographs of the city's skyline as they gently ascend and descend over the River Thames.

4. What is the current official name of the London Eye?
The London Eye has had several sponsored names throughout its history.
