London Eye

A lot of big cities now have gigantic ferris-wheel as tourist attraction. In 2000, at the turn of the Millennium, the aptly named Millennium Wheel was constructed in London to mark the event. Have since been more popularly know as London Eye, the London Eye features a 30 mins ferris-wheel ride taking you up to 135M high on it's peak. The exciting thing about the ride is the ability to see London from new perspectives high up in the sky.

Expect some queues but don't be disheartened by a potentially long wait. A queue that started twice over outside the covered area took us less than 15 mins and once you are 'on the flight' it's all worth it. London Eye is right next to the Jubilee Garden at the southern bank of river Thames.


One of the most memorable view to me is actually the shadow of the London Eye on the Jubilee Garden. It looks like the eyes itself and the small whitish specks on the green background are actually people enjoying the sun on grass.
