The view from the London Eye is more amazing than words can say, even pictures can't catch it true beauty.
I went on the London Eye over a year ago with my friends for one of their birthdays, my first thoughts were 'this is going to be boring, seeing the same scenery for half an hour', but one we got on I was blown away.
Every time you turn around the scenery seems to change, every angle is a different experience.
We went on in the early evening, so by the time we were at the top you could see the whole of London in a mystic dusk view, the best time to go I think.

My best advice, book your tickets!]]> Sat, 26 Apr 2008 19:34:16 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1l78d8288339414 francesca_marie 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1b3597

I and 7 friends were fortunate enough to be given some tickets to go on the London Eye.

I thought going on a Saturday night the queues would have been busier but after obtaining our tickets at 6:30pm we only waited 25 minutes before boarding our pod. So equal to approximately how long it takes to do a loop.

Even better they didn't cram us in to capacity (28 people per pod) so there was plenty of room to explore the heights of London from all angles.

Once in 'flight' the whole experienced seemed to fly by. There is so much to look at that time just seemed to fly by. Every moment was great though.

Now that I have been up at night, I look forward to doing it all again during daylight... just need London to deliver the perfect day ;)

From an inital skeptic, I am now converted. This is not a cheap experience but a very cool thing to do if you get the chance.

A group of friends and I spent a few days in London and we decided go onto the London Eye. The first thing that struck me about it is the structure; it is fantastic, and you have to be standing next to it to appreciate the scale of the it all. The queue was quite long; we arrived at the site at 16:00 and managed to get into a pod at 18:30 after two lengthy ques (one for the ticket and another to get in). The views from the pod were spectacular and we even saw the arches of the new Wembly in the far distance. Your picture is taken when the pod is making its way down and if you like it you can purchase a copy for 7.50 (or two for 10.00). We took the offer for two.

When it all ended, however, we were left with a "is that it?" feeling having paid 15 pounds each for the experience. This sense of little value for money continued as we checked the priced of the merchandise on offer.

In conclusion, I don't regret visiting or going on the London Eye but having been on it once I don't think that I would want to go again. I do feel however that it is a must-see for London visitors. ]]> Mon, 06 Aug 2007 19:27:36 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1294l71568256464 Madafi 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1c42p8

A cautionary note that i will add - as well as other comments on here as to how good it is - it takes ages from arrival to getting into a pod. that goes whether you turn up on spec or pre-book. so if you were thinking of trying to get in a pod for sunset, bear it in mind.]]> Thu, 03 May 2007 11:07:39 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1c42p81608928758 PromoMan 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1b12r9

A winner. Already lots of comments and reviews on the London Eye and I don't want to repeat what others are saying but here are some key thoughts about the 135m high attraction:
- Highly recommended for out-of-towners - unparalleled views of London
- Remember to book in advance on London eye as it does get busy
- Try a night ride to see London all lit up (and pwetty). Open to 8pm usually and 9pm in June-September.
- Also tie this in with a walk along SouthBank to see other attractions like the Tate Modern, Barbican and London City Hall.

I've been on it three times now, never quite managed to make it on a really clear day though. Whatever the weather it's a really spectacular, graceful ride and there's nothing quite like it. They do discount Eye and boat trip tickets that are well worth looking into.]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2007 23:33:47 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1882l81564317697 keynesian330 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1762x7

London Eye is really cool. Even late in the evening in the rain it is quite an experience.]]> Tue, 06 Feb 2007 20:09:04 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1w00j9433607039 hamburgo 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1m70d8

It takes 30 mins a revolution - you may want to aim to have sunset occur 10 mins after you start...
