This was one of the highlights of my entire life!!! YES, it was fun. The wheel is 450 feet and takes 1/2 hour to ride, but it's worth it. When you look at it, it doesnt even seem to be moving because it's so slow.

When you get to London you need to make a reservation for a time and pay for it at that time. Cost $12.00US for an adult. Seniors and children get a lower price. You have to get there 1/2 hr before your scheduled time and wait in line. Check the British Air website for times and information. I did it in September, and the hours went till 10PM. In the winter the wheel is in operation only until 6PM. You also need to remember that the sun sets at about 4:30PM in November and December.

Ii is great fun for everyone who come to this city for pleasure, it is also great to see London's 30 incredible sites in just few minutes.

Standing at 135m high, the London Eye is a sight in itself. After reading the recommendations for the Eye, we knew we had to take a spin. It was amazing to see just how big London is from way up there. It was also very helpful to see where everything was in comparison to everything else. Maps and street signs can only give you an idea of the area, but the Eye can show you how it all looks. At 13BP per person, the 30- to 40- minute "trip" is quite costly but worth it for the pictures you can get! We bought some sandwiches and chips in the lobby and ate them while on board. Each capsule can hold 25 people, but they only put about 15 to 20 in each to make it roomier. The pods have a bench in the middle to sit on if you would like, but most like to stand and take pictures of the view.

One of the things that I enjoyed the most in London was going on the London Eye. The trip is about 30 minutes, and we got the chance to see the sunset on it.

One of London’s newest and most popular sites is the London Eye. This massive structure stands 135m (442.91 feet) from the ground to the top of a capsule. This structure is not technically a Ferris wheel. It was a wonderful experience to be on. You can see for 25 miles, which gives you a view of many famous landmarks, like the houses of Parliament, St. Paul’s Cathedral, The Palace of Westminster, Big Ben, and Windsor Castle. The true experience is being at the top, a feeling like you are flying. And since you don’t actually feel like you are that high, it works for those who are not fond of heights. These capsules are made of glass and steel, so buckle up and enjoy the ride, and don’t forget to see the picture at the end.
