Two new cranes have been installed on the London Eye to support the ongoing maintenance and engineering work on the iconic Thames-side tourist attraction.
The installation was carried out over five nights while the 135m-high observation wheel remained operational.
The new Hiab cranes replace the original units that had been in operation since the Eye opened in 2000.
Installed on bespoke pedestals on the north side of the wheel, with one crane positioned waterside and the other landside, the units are designed to minimise downtime and support consistent operation.
