The London Eye
Originally installed on the River Thames in London to celebrate the new millennium. The London Eye stands tall and is hard to miss. Located just a short walk from the Houses of Parliament and accessible on foot from a few of the London Underground’s tube stations.
Things to do at The London Eye review
Once known as The Millenium Wheel it is Europe’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel and is the most popular paid tourist attraction in the UK. It is a staggering 135 metres high and although the ride on the wheel is around 30 minutes you need to allow at least one hour, if not longer, for your visit. The queue itself can take a while unless you want to pay a premium to skip the queues.
On a good day, you can see for 25 miles and the views even on a bad weather day are stunning. There is nowhere else in London where you will experience such amazing views of the Capital City. You travel just one evolution with your ticket which takes 30 minutes so as you can imagine it’s not a fast ride and it feels safe inside one of their pods. But if you have a fear of heights you may want to give it a miss. Each capsule is fully airconditioned and you share your ride with other tourists. You can pay a premium and book a private pod.
