London Eye is located on the Thames, it is about 5 minutes walk from Waterloo station. When I visited the London Eye, I was very skeptical, but I absolutely enjoyed it, it was much better than I predicted. On the day I went, the weather was great for picture taking, certainly gave me an excellent opportunity to take lovely pictures of the city of London. I sat on the bench for a few minutes to get used to it, when I got used to it wasn't bad at all, and it goes so slow (the trip takes about 30 minutes), I assume each capsule holds about 15 - 20 people. It all feels extremely secure, and it is fine even for those of you who are petrified of heights, like me, I felt comfortable on the ride as there was plenty of room to sit and walk around. I certainly had the most breathtaking views of London from high up, I could see some of the London famous landmarks, such as Buckingham Palace, the BT Tower, The Palace of Westminster, St. Paul's Cathedral, Canary Wharf, the list is endless. The Eye is a well-known landmark, it is an architectural work of art, the London eye is a beautiful, modern structure that represents a new, modern and successful London. It's worth every penny for the views, buy the guidebook and take it with you before the trip, so that you can distinguish the buildings as you are seeing them from above. Highly recommended. |

good tip and pictures :)
This sounds like a great experience, even for those who don't like heights!
It is surely a great engineering achievement - architecture is a different story perhaps. Else great post with good info. Reminds me of a go on a smaller "Eye" in Paris once...

Good tip. When I was last in London it was so overcast we didn't bother going on the Eye. However, we were on a boat that passed beneath it and I was amazed at the sheer size of the thing.

I haven't been to London for a while, I didn't know about this. Sounds like its worth having a look. Nice pictures!
Actually sounds kinda nice. The price has always made me skip this one...
