Consumers today voted the Millennium Wheel London's top attraction in a major awards ceremony.
The public also chose Selfridges as the capital's top retailer and Rules, in Maiden Lane, as the best restaurant in the London Tourism Awards.
It was the second year running that the wheel - officially called the British Airways London Eye - had taken the people's award.
Next best attraction this year was the Tower of London followed by the National History Museum, the Tate Modern and the Science Museum.
In other awards - all chosen by the tourism industry - the top visitor attraction having more than 100,000 visitors a year was, for the second year running, the Science Museum.
Top attraction under 100,000 visitors was the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum and Tour, while the BBC Television Centre Tour took the top sightseeing tour award. The large hotel prize was won by Claridge's.
The awards, organised by the London Tourist Board and Convention Bureau, were presented in London today by BBC London news presenter Emily Maitlis.
