London Eye

The London Eye was opened in the year 200 and known as the milenium wheel. Since it has changed its name to suit the times more. It is sponsered by British Airways, so a turn on the wheel is known as a flight. The London Eye is set on the banks of the Thames, in the South Bank area. It is a large wheel with big glass pods on which people can sit in and go round. The main aim of the London Eye is to experience unrivalled views across London. This is certainly accomplished with a ride. The wheel turns slowly and a ride consists of one turn on the wheel and lasts 30 minutes. The wheel never actually stops, it just goes so slowly that people can get on ...  Read the complete review

Intro ------ The London Eye is a massive, glorified ferris wheel situated in the heart of westminster, London. It is open for rides between the hours of 8-9.30 and is a truly wonderful spectacle. It was opened in 1999 for the millenium, and this is the reason that it was originally called the 'millenium wheel'. It has wonderfully stood the test of time, unlike the millenium dome, which no one nowadays has even heard of! Each ride lasts 30 minutes, and allows you to get over 400ft high meaning that you can see everything across London which is just magnificent. My experience ------------------ My girlfriend and I ...  Read the complete review

It was my father's 53rd birthday (October 2009). We booked a champagne flight on the London Eye via Internet (www.londoneye.com) as a surprise. Price and booking ----------------------- The champagne flight costs 35 pounds for adults and children older than 4 years if you buy the ticket in the ticket office and you get 10% discount if you book online.

This is a must- do for anyone going to London. Having been to London hundreds of times i thought that i might as well go on the London-Eye and see what all the hype about it was. I was pleasently surprised when i went on it though. It is much slower than i thought and on a clear day (as it was when i went) you could see for miles which is really good if you are a tourist. There was a queue for the attraction but, being British i knew how to deal with this as i am quite used to waiting in lines (as we like to do). The prices are as follows: Adult: £17.00 Child, 5-15: £8.50 Child (Under 5) : Free Senior, 60 +: ...  Read the complete review
