Abseilers have finished smothering the London Eye with 5,000 litres of paint just in time for the first day of spring (Wednesday, March 20).
The attraction needs a touch-up once every three years so painters have been dangling 130 metres off the ground to get the job done.
The makeover required eight people to work five nights a week for six months – the same time it takes to paint roughly 1,660 cars.
Ti Onur, Head of Operations at the lastminute.com London Eye, said: “Can you imagine a more picturesque painting location than this – it’s the perfect spot to soar above and soak in the iconic London sights!
“Our amazing team take to the skies every three years to ensure the lastminute.com London Eye stays sparkling over the capital. And this year even more importantly, to ensure the attraction looks its very best heading into its 25th birthday in 2025.”
