Today we took a flight on the London Eye. Luckily we had pre-booked our tickets on a Fast Track basis, as the queue was very, very long. The price isn’t that much more and you get to saunter past the rest of the people waiting for up to two hours with free guidebook and personal escort to the pod. Admittedly the personal escort to the pod isn’t much more than ‘see that big wheel thingy over there? That’s what you’re after mate’ but still the whole experience is great. As you’d expect the view is good and you’re on for just about enough time to get a nose around at the cityscape. Somehow though it’s not as rewarding as the Empire State building or the Eiffel Tower as you can spend as much time as you want peering over the edge before deciding to move on. I’d certainly do it again though.
