The London Eye Tourist Attraction in London.

The London Eye is basically a “Big wheel” with hi-tech fully enclosed glass capsules, from where you have a magnificent view of central London. But don’t let my simple description fool you! It is in fact a beautiful, modern and admired symbol of the UK. It offers an amazing view of London.

Beautiful architecture and view of London.

A view of all the major landmarks in London.

You can see the major landmarks like Big Ben, The House of Parliament and many other places. They say that on a clear day you can see for up to 40kms!!! Unfortunately when I visited London it was a dull and cloudy day but the view was still beautiful.

Luckily I chose a not too busy day and managed to get my ticket after 25 minutes! I believe you can also book online. Interesting they call it “flights” but it is purely because it is sponsored by British Airways.

My “flight” lasted 30 minutes, 135m above the river Thames and an incredible view. More than 3 million people visit this popular tourst attraction every year. The down side – it is expensive. If you do visit Madame Tussauds buy the full package which includes the London Eye. I didn’t do it and subsequently paid more.

It is also a good idea to buy a London Pass. For a little extra, it would give you access to the London Eye and many other famous tourist attractions.

The London Eye Tourist Attraction in London

I have been fortunate to have done quite a bit of travelling. By heart I am an adventurer and I love exploring new places, cultures and food. Travelling can become stressful and expensive. Over the years I have learnt to travel as cost effective as possible, simply by travelling more clever. Nelmitravel.com is a Adventure and Budget Travel site where I review Airlines, Accommodation, Transport, Restaurants and give helpful travel information.
