Unique bird’s-eye view of iconic London Eye fireworks

Check out our exclusive video, as Arco Professional Safety Services made UK history on New Year's Eve in London, capturing 360° footage from inside the London Eye fireworks display.

The New Year's Eve fireworks display from the London Eye is one of the UK's most celebrated traditions. And while thousands of people gathered on New Years Eve in London to watch the show (with millions more tuning in at home), a team from Arco Professional Safety Services captured unique footage from inside the display – a UK first.

Capturing incredible shots

With all eyes on the sky, Arco Professional Safety Services worked hard behind the scenes on the night, deploying their expertise as rescue cover for the fireworks crew. At the same time, the Arco team was able to secure safe access to mount a 360° camera on the London Eye, nearly 80 metres above the ground.

The camera captured incredible footage of the nation's annual fireworks display on New Year's Eve in London, taking people closer than ever to this much-loved event. Check out our exclusive video of the London Eye fireworks below.

Training Instructor, Russell Edwards (Arco Professional Safety Services), was responsible for the camera setup and said: "It was an absolute pleasure to capture these unique shots on New Year's Eve. Filming from the centre of the London Eye at 76 metres up was such an exciting opportunity.

"As far as we know, it's never been done before and the results are amazing. Of course, credit to our team on the night. They're pretty much the unseen heroes at events like this and at other UK venues, contributing to safe and memorable experiences that everyone can enjoy."
