London Eye Review

Located along the Thames river in the South Bank area, the London Eye is the largest ferris wheel in the world. On a clear day you can see as far as Windsor Castle, 25 miles away. As London isn't known for its clear days, you might more reasonably expect to see things a bit closer! Though the tickets are rather expensive this is worth experiencing. As the wheel makes a slow revolution you are carried 135 meters into the air. The view of London is wonderful. I've ridden the wheel at night, on lovely sunny days, and even in the rain and every time I've enjoyed it.

Before or after your ride you can explore the South Bank. The wheel is located close to House of Parliment, Westminster Abbey, and the Millenium bridges. Plus the whole area attracts street artists.
