Take a ride on the London Eye to get the best view of the city. The Ferris Wheel cabins that are similar to compartments on a gondola have glass walls so that you get a 360 degree view of the city and all it has to offer.
I am usually scared of heights, and I will concede that...

In the past few months I have been on the London Eye and the Belfast Wheel (a much smaller version in Belfast) and I must say I've got a real taste for ferris wheels. The London Eye is definitely worth the money- just book in advance to avoid the long queues. You get an unrivalled view of London...

I have been to London several times without getting to see or ride the London Eye, even though I have wanted to experience it for eight years now! Finally, I have not only seen, but have ridden the London Eye.
It is a marvelous site to behold, but mostly because it is so out of...

Even though I'd been to London many times before, I still went on the London Eye recently, and I loved every minute of it. You really can see the whole city from up there, and the completely glass enclosure gives you a very strange feeling of being suspended in the air. The only drawback was...

London Eye is located at Jubilee Gardens, South Bank (take tube to Waterloo).
While this particular Ferris wheel may not be as old as the one in Vienna, it is still an impressive sight in the London panorama. IT does look a bit scary, however it does offer magnificent views of one...
