The subject for this year’s event is “adopted Londoners” – with expert speakers celebrating iconic figures, past and present, who were born outside of the city, but came to be associated with it.

Hence the list for 2015 will feature the late frontman of The Clash Joe Strummer, fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher with expert speakers including Don Letts, Jennie Bond and Dan Cruickshank.

London has a proud and long history of cultural diversity attracting the great and the good to its streets which for some have indeed been paved with gold. This year’s subjects will be “some of those who contributed to London’s rich tapestry of stories and helped shaped the destiny of the UK’s capital city” say the promoters.

“London is the greatest city on earth and we wanted to celebrate some of the intriguing characters who have made London their home and helped make London what it is today” said Nikki Ratcliffe, London Eye spokesperson. “We are delighted to be welcoming back 32 Londoners to the London Eye and are thrilled by the exciting mix of captivating speakers and fascinating subjects that this year’s event offers”

Event Details:
– The event will be curated by A Curious Invitation and Antique Beat and will feature 32 talks, in each of the London Eye’s 32 capsules on 32 extraordinary Londoners.
