London Eye
The London Eye is located at the western end of Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is basically just across the river from the House of Parliament and Big Ben in Westminster. The London Eye is supposedly the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel.
The flight lasts for approximately 30 minutes (the time it takes for the London Eye to revolve completely) and costs £17.50 per person. Personally, I’d recommend it because it offers breathtaking views of London from high above the River Thames – see Big Ben towering above the Houses of Parliament, follow St. James Park as it sweeps down to Buckingham Palace, etc.

I had seen that in pictures and movies of London and thought “why is there a giant ferris wheel there?” Ha ha. Now I know what it is. Your pictures are gorgeous as always.
