Happy New Year persons! It’s been five days since the New Year festivities but I find myself unable to shake off the holiday stupor. So today I cracked my fingers, pulled out the camera and ran through photos from our New Year celebrations at London’s London Eye. I thought I’d share these with you.

A bunch of us headed to a friend’s terrace (situated in the heart of London) for this remarkable view of the London Eye.

London Eye

The London Eye, also known as the Millennium Wheel, was every one of lit up, waiting, like the slumber of the world for the clocks to strike 12. And then it happened.

Inaugurated in 1999, by the then PM Tony Blair, the London Eye was the largest Ferris wheel (or observation wheel, as some prefer to call it) in the world. It still remains the largest Ferris wheel in Europe.

Not only is the London Eye a popular landmark and tourist attractions, the London Eye fireworks display has become a highly anticipated global event. Thousands braved the cold (and it was cold!) to catch a glimpse of this. It was totally worth the effort.

The tradition of the London Eye fireworks display began in 2005. The look includes a stunning 10 minute extravaganza full of bright light and cheer.

How did you spend the minutes leading up to the New Year?
