A Capsule for All

The compartments of the London Eye from which passengers take in the panoramic views of the capital are known as ‘capsules’. There are 32 of these in total, with the idea being that there is one to represent each of the London Boroughs. Each capsule is numbered, though interestingly the number 13 is not used as it is believed to be unlucky.

A full rotation of the Eye takes around thirty minutes, giving visitors ample opportunity to take in the views of a wide range of attractions and areas of interest, from the Houses of Parliament across the river, to Windsor Castle on the outskirts of the city.
