The London Eye has broken down on Britain’s hottest day of the year.
Footage shows an announcement being made at one of London’s most popular tourist attractions saying engineers are in attendance.
A crowd can be seen waiting to board the iconic attraction in the 28C heat, which marks Britain’s hottest day of the year.
The attraction has since started to let tourists and sightseers back on – with full air conditioning.
It comes after the Met Office warned ‘there is a 30% chance of seeing 30°C heat’ today, with London temperatures hitting close to 29C.
The forecaster told Metro: ‘Temperatures will be hitting 29°C across the South East of England today, bringing the hottest day of the year.
‘There is even a 30% chance of seeing 30°C heat, and if this is the case will be the first time on record such temperatures have been seen so early in the year.’
