The London Eye will make a rare backwards spin to commemorate the end of British Summer Time and the clocks going back.For the second time since it was built in 2000, the London landmark will move counter-clockwise for around half an hour starting at 8.15 a.m. on Sunday before it opens to the public. Normally, the monument runs clockwise.It will mark the switch from British Summer Time to Greenwich Mean Time and it is the first time the cantilevered observation wheel has run in reverse since 2019 – when it also marked the clocks going back.Every year clocks go back an hour at 2am on the last Sunday of October, and when the clocks change, so does the UK’s time zone.Robin Goodchild, senior general manager of the lastminute.com London Eye, said: “We are thrilled to share a unique moment with everyone as the London Eye goes backwards to mark the end of British Summer Time.

“As the nights draw in, early evening rides offer guests breathtaking panoramic views of London’s skyline, showcasing the transition from autumnal sunsets to thousands of twinkling lights.”The London Eye was erected to celebrate the millennium, has 32 pods representing the London boroughs and is 135 metres tall.
