The London Eye marks the end of British Summer Time and the rare reversal of clocks.
London’s iconic sign normally runs clockwise, but for the second time since the sign was installed in 2000, it will run counter-clockwise for around 30 minutes from 8.15am on Sunday before opening to the public.
It marks the switch from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time, and the console’s control wheel will run backwards for the first time since 2019 – when it marked the clocks going back.
Every year the clocks go back one hour on the last Sunday in October at 2am and when the clocks change, so does the UK time zone.
Robin Goodchild, senior general manager of the London Eye at lastminute.com, said: “We are delighted to share a unique moment with everyone as the London Eye moves backwards to mark the end of British Summer Time.
“As the nights draw in, the evening attractions offer guests stunning panoramic views of London’s skyline, reflecting the transition from autumnal sunsets to thousands of twinkling lights.”
The London Eye was built to celebrate the millennium, has 32 pods representing the boroughs of London and is 135 meters tall.
