Great tourist place and definitely a Must at least once. Can also rent out a capsule just for yourself (and friends). Unusual place to propose;)
Have fun :)

Great location, near Waterloo station and on the riverside.
Long queues on Sunday evening.
Plenty of other things to do nearby. Festival hall. buskers.
If you don't go on it, you can still enjoy looking at it and taking photos of it.]]> Mon, 25 May 2009 23:24:28 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/118x47917361342 Angella 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1c7t48

The london eye is set on the side of the thames, in westminster, right by the aquarium.
If you have a spare 30 mins then forget it, even though it only takes about that to go round once it takes much longer to get on in the first place.
The pods are see through and so you do get the best views from them, once you get used to the open feel of it all. They do pack you in though so do not think you will get a pod to your self coz you need to pay more for that.
Later in the day the sky will be wonderful and the softer light makes it easier for you to see without straining your eyes.
It is reasonable enough in terms of price and nice to say that you have been on and seen london from a different view point]]> Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:57:18 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/142oi81106989968 watermelon90 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/135np7

The london eye, a giant wheel that takes you on a thirty minute high rise tour of the sights of the beautiful london sky line, is great. You can book in advance and also pick up deals to include other attractions to make more of a day out. The london aquarium is very close so that would be a good place to combine you trip with. The pods do not stop to let you on but move slowly enough to let you get on with no problems. If there are lots of you, you may be lucky and get a whole pod to your self as we did, which was nice. The que is always quite long so do bear this in mind when planning visiting times, etc.]]> Sat, 20 Sep 2008 17:56:18 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/135np71626224872 vik 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1d1l27

The London Eye is definitely a great experience. The views are really good on a clear day and although I went in the middle of the day, I think it would be even better in the evening at sunset or at night. It's really easy to find and is easy to get into, although your bags will be searched before you can get on. Its kind of expensive but if you are a tourist you tend to pay for these things anyway, right? Obviously you have to get on and off while its moving but don't worry, it doesn't go very fast, which means you get plenty of time to look around from the top, and I think they stop it if someone has a disability and needs it to stop before they can get on and off. You really can see a lot of the city from the top, and the views are worth the cost.]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 22:13:33 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1d1l2757566692 emmsj 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/177le7

We went in the summer holidays and it was one of the few non rainy days! The weather was perfect for seeing all the sights and we bought the small book that points out all the places of interest and took lots of photos! We arrived at around 10am on a Monday in the school holidays and walked straight on as we have Merlin passes so no queuing for tickets!]]> Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:38:14 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/177le71399440771 furrypig 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1r8km7

Possibly the best attraction in London, I know itâ¬"s really touristy but I love it.
Itâ¬"s basically a really big Ferris wheel with sealed pods that hold about 20 people or so. The pods are constantly turning you hop on at the bottom and it slowly rotates to give you an amazing view of the London skyline. You are free to move around the pod so thereâ¬"s plenty of opportunity to take in the views all around you. You can even rent a private pod for partiesâ¬" etc champagne and all. Iâ¬"ve had to entertain out of towners on several occasions and it is one attraction that never fails to impress. Itâ¬"s located on the South Bank of the Thames just along from the London Aquarium.

I went on the London Eye during its probationary period many years ago, and, unless they have increased its speed to allow passengers to achieve weightlessness, I doubt that the experience would enthral me any more now than it did then.

The view was interesting for approximately two to three minutes, after which I passed the time having the same conversation that I could have had on the ground, somewhat bored by the experience of seeing London from a slightly different angle.

Perhaps the experience is more enjoyable for those that have greater links with the city, but, frankly, developing those links would give me more trouble for me than a normal Ferris wheel would cause.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 18:25:34 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/165jp72127389137 charlievenice 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1o9it8

My partner and I went on our first break together to London and as a surprise he booked us onto the combo package of a river cruise and trip on the London Eye. I loved every minute of it. I recommend the package of cruise and Eye as it makes for a great couple of hours entertainment. I'd previously lived in London and never been on the Eye and learnt more about the city from the experience than in the entire time I'd lived there ;0)

The only negative thing I can say is we were there on a bank holiday weekend and were on one of the last trips round on the wheel before it closed for the day so each pod was pretty much jam packed full of people. You really had to elbow your way through to get a decent view outside. But it was well worth the effort ;0)]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 09:38:12 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1o9it81099173383 sjsoutherner 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1m8ic8

The London Eye is worth going and although it's expensive I'd recommend paying the extra fee to jump the queue. The queue can be astonishingly big and if you're only visiting the city for a short time you don't really want to waste it standing in queues.

The views really are quite spectacular and it's fun pointing out all the buildings. The Eye moves slowly enough that your pictures won't be blurry from the motion. The speed however is exactly the problem with the Eye. It's too slow. If you're the fidgety, hyperactive type you'll be dying for it to be over long before you reach the top. Kids seem to bore of it quite quickly and even adults start eyeing the seats before long (no, there's not enough room for everyone).

Here's a tip though. Each pod has a photo taken of it. There are two cameras but everyone only seems to notice the one nearest the dock. Look for the other one and you might be able to get a photo of just your companions rather than everyone in the pod.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 03:09:33 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1m8ic8396644926 creative 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1l9it8

the London Eye is an enjoyable experience for young and old alike.

The whole journey lasts 30 minutes for one complete revolution of the wheel, however the queues to get on are often far longer.

The views over London are incredible - pick a good clear sunny day and you can see for miles.

My favourite time to visit is dusk when the cities lights are coming on as you get to see it with the sun setting in the distance and the magical lights emerging from the darkness.

The London Eye is expensive and really one trip on it is enough. You will not really need to visit more than once.

Overall it offers a new perspective of London, but for a high price.]]> Thu, 04 Sep 2008 01:13:10 +0000 /review/uk/london/attraction/1o3217r/london-eye/1l9it8532051307 stitch 51.502001473445 -0.11976837465009
