Shops are flooded with winter woollies and cafes have brought in their holiday-themed drinks which can only mean one thing - in the words of the Stark family from Game of Thrones, winter is coming! It will begin to feel even more seasonal when the clocks turn back, we gain an extra hour in bed and the days become shorter at the end of this month. On 27 October, British Summer Time will end and the Coca-Cola London Eye will mark the occasion in an unusual way this year.
The London Eye is more than just the most popular tourist attraction in the UK; it also lights up to mark important occasions (such as the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's first child Archie), it is a highlight of the New Year's fireworks, and the pods have even been converted into a pop-up hotel room. But it has always rotated in the same direction until now. For the first time in almost twenty years, the iconic London landmark will rotate backward for an hour - and you could be on board when it happens!
