London Eye

<London Photos

 

When erected in 1999, The London Eye was the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, being 135m high.

There are 32 capsules taking half an hour for a revolution. OK - enough of the facts - the main thing is you get the most fantastic views of London from it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The test starts here - how much do you recognise in this photo? The Foreign Office, Buckingham Palace, Horseguards, New Scotland Yard, Downing Street (just the roofs!), the ICA (where we had our wedding reception - many years ago....) and many more are all here.

Same scene - but there is a special magic at night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hungerford railway & footbridge links Charing Cross main line station to south of the river. Cleopatra's needle is on the embankment, just right of centre.
