EDITORS COMMENTS
This montage, brought to you by English Heritage and York and Son, presents a unique blend of London's rich history and modern-day charm. On the left side of the image, the iconic London Eye (photographed in 2000) gracefully stands on the South Bank of the River Thames. The London Eye, a modern engineering marvel and European Union's tallest Ferris wheel, opened in 2000 and offers breathtaking views of the city from its 32 glass-enclosed capsules. On the right side of the montage, we travel back in time to circa 1900, where the Great Wheel at Earls Court entertainment ground takes center stage. The Great Wheel, photographed by York and Son, was a popular attraction during the early 20th century. With its impressive height and daring rides, it attracted thrill-seekers from all walks of life. The London Eye and the Great Wheel, two iconic structures that represent different eras, come together in this stunning montage. While the London Eye symbolizes modern London's leisure and recreational offerings, the Great Wheel serves as a reminder of the city's rich history and the thrill-seeking spirit that continues to thrive in its heart. This montage, created by English Heritage and York and Son, is not only an ode to London's past and present but also a testament to the city's enduring allure and its ability to captivate the hearts of millions. Whether you're a history buff, a thrill-seeker, or simply someone who loves the beauty of London, this image is sure to leave you in awe.
