London Eye, London

My wife dosen't like hights so this is one thing I did solo on our last trip to London. It was a bit pricey, but then to an American tourist everything in England is pricey. Still it was worth the price and the wait in line......on a clear day (with which I blessed) you can see forever. I would recommend a ride on the Eye if it fits you budget.....it is a real "eye opener"!

try to go at night, esp if you are lucky enought to get a clear night. lines are usually shorter and the views are AMAZING.

What a wonderful experience. Seeing all of London in one setting. We picked a great day to board the London Eye. Clear skies and lots of sunshine. We were very lucky. The trip was booked in advance in Canada and we boarded the Eye the day that we arrived in London. We will hightly recommend that anyone visiting London board the London Eye and really see the great expanse that is London; a bird's eye view so to speak. Having our picture taken on board the Eye was great! A nice reminder of our trip.

This was the funnest ride ride I've ever been on!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a fantastic view. Can't wait to go back! I would recommend this for every one. Hope ya like it!

If I was dissappointed about one thing we did in London this would be the one I would choose. The price was very high about $30 USD per person and I just was not impressed. Yes, you have great views of the city, and that's it. I think you have just as good a view going to these places and seeing them from the ground. The people there were fantasticly friendly and helpful, but I found everyone in London to be this way. I would not recommend this to anyone.

A friend pointed out to me that London does not offer a lot of ways to get a good view from a tall building overlooking the city so this is perhaps your best chance. The line was long but moved surprisingly fast. They unload each 'pod' as it completes its turn around the wheel and load it up with a new group - I would guess that 15 people were with us in our pod. Each 'pod' is completely covered so you don't have to worry about rain or cold. We went in the rain and it was fine. And it is located very close to Big Ben and Parliment so you can get some great views and photos. Glad I did it.

Be sure to pay a little extra and book the Discovery Flight. You'll get a guide to point out all of the sights as you travel the Eye and tell information about the sights that you would not already know. It was well worth the extra few pounds. I would not have enjoyed the ride with out the guide. Be sure to go on a clear day if at all possible.

I enjoyed the London Eye, it will give you a great view of the city. The line for it was really long but it moved fast. I recommend doing this at least once. The price for it wasn't bad either.

It was an extremely long wait (4 hours)for the opportunity to board the wheel but the view from the top 15 minutes later was great. I don't normally like ferris wheels but this one was an exception; it didn't have the ferris wheel rock and sway and it is climate controlled.

I think its is your risk because you like on there for 30 mintues and any one can throw if the 450 feet in the air. So Its really your risk to go on it or not
