The wheel was designed by architects spouses David marks and Julia Barfield. However, the project on construction of the Ferris wheel in the centre of the city have not won the corresponding tender 1993 newspaper the Sunday Times on the development of monumental buildings to meet the new Millennium.

Initially, the London eye was planned as a temporary structure. It was a kind of experiment, the permission for the project was issued for 5 years, which ended in 2005. The wheel was built from scompletedegments that took up the Thames on barges and collected "lying" on special platforms on the river. When the wheel was, it was raised to a vertical position with the help of a special system 2 degrees per hour until it reached 65 degrees. The total weight of steel in the "Eye" is 1700 tons. The London eye was originally called the Millennium Wheel, then British Airways London Eye, and later Merlin Entertainments London Eye.
