London is known for the annual New Year's Eve fireworks at the London Eye.
The display takes place along the River Thames, with the London Eye as its best-known visual landmark. Fireworks are launched from the wheel, the river, and nearby structures, while illuminated boats and synchronized music may form part of the wider production. Large crowds gather in central London, and the event is televised to audiences in the United Kingdom and abroad.
The London Eye, officially the London Eye observation wheel, opened to the public in 2000. Its position opposite the Palace of Westminster gives the fireworks a distinctive skyline that often includes Big Ben and other central landmarks. The clock's midnight chimes are an important part of the televised countdown.
London is not the only British city with a New Year's Eve display. The identifying clue is the combination of the River Thames and the London Eye, which places the celebration in England's capital city.
