The architects, Julia Barfield and her husband David Marks, were the winners of the competition to design a Millennium landmark. Their design was the most imaginative projects. The first drawings of the wheel were made on their kitchen table in 1993. -David developed the idea for a giant wheel and Julia found the ideal site by drawing a circle round London and finding its centre.

• Not surprisingly, it took about three years to do all the groundwork to get the wheel built. In recognition of their work, the couple were awarded the MBE, a special honour that is given in the UK to someone who has achieved something special.
