Advantages: Views, experiance

Disadvantages: Getting on and off

Last month i went on the London Eye for the first time. It was with school and i was very excited! When i saw it for the first time i was really surprised about how big it was! (thought it would have only been about half the size it was!) lol. The ques were quite long but it moved quite quickly: although that was probably because it was a week day! When we were at the front we had to jump into the pod; so i wouldn't reccomend going on it if you have a mobility problem as it doesn't stop and may be hard to get on. Once we were inside and started to move it was slightly scary but not to bad!

At the top you got such wonderful views and you could see out all across London! It was spectacular! Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, House of Parliment; all places which you could see!

On the way back down you got your photo taken! This is great and i would reccomend buying it if it is a good one! Because it shows everyone in it from the outside! The photos cost about £10 to buy which is quite expensive, however if you buy two then it only costs around about £7 (these prices may not be exact, sorry!)

It takes approxamatly just over half an hour to go all the way round. This may sound like a long time and you may think that you would get bored being on it for so long but i can tell you that you don't! Time flys past when your up there!

I think that the cost is currently: £15.50 per adult (over 16s),
children (4-15) £7.75,
children under 4 free,
senior (60 plus) £12.00,
disabled £12.00

Summary: A Wonderfull experiance which i would definatly reccomend!
