The London Eye has broken down on the hottest day of the year with tourists stranded inside.
The iconic landmark broke down earlier today as temperatures in the capital soared to 28C.
It is not the first time the popular tourist attraction has broken down. In 2016 hundreds of people were left stranded in the air for hours after it stopped working.
The attraction came to a juddering halt at 7.21pm on October 1 leaving some stuck 400ft in the air as engineers tried to fix it, with ambulances waiting on the ground.
A trip usually takes just 30 minutes but it wasn’t until 10.40pm that everyone had disembarked from the 32-pod wheel, which can hold up to 800 passengers.
