One of the symbols of London is the London Eye Ferris wheel, located in the Lambeth area on the south bank of the Thames.
Height: 135 meters, 32 fully enclosed capsule cabins in the shape of an egg. The capsules symbolize the districts of London.
The turnaround takes about 30 minutes.
There is usually a long queue for tickets, but there are also combo tickets where you can buy a one-time ticket with a discount for admission to the London Dungeon (the fear room), Madame Tussauds Museum (wax figures) and other attractions run by Disney Corp.
I haven't been on a wheel, just taking pictures.
Nicely. There's a reason to go back to London and take a look from above. The location of the Ferris wheel is ideal, and it fits well into the historical center from the point of view of design.
We are cashless ... you can only pay with a visa or Mastercard card, they do not take cash, payment is made at the terminal. The wheel itself is great, the queue goes fast, it's comfortable inside, gorgeous views of London. It's even good that we didn't get there as planned on the first day of the trip, then from above we consolidated the knowledge about the city gained on foot. I recommend it! Decide in advance with tickets, there on the spot, if there is no card, only negotiate with other tourists for an unequal exchange of cash for a cashless card…
The London Eye is one of the wonderful sights of London. From a bird's-eye view, you can see the city, admire the winding Thames. Large cabins allow you to see London from all sides. There are a lot of impressions!
The landmark of London, offers magnificent views of the whole city!
But get ready to stand in line, even in the rain, it will be crowded here.There is an "unobtrusive service " in the form of a photo with you, The booths are as large as a room, even alarmists will not be afraid!While waiting in line and boarding the cabin, the weather changed and it became dull and rainy..
A great Ferris wheel.
There is a view of London from above.
The wheel itself is decorated beautifully and modernly.
It was not for nothing that he was called the London eye.
Spacious and well-conditioned cabins, seating in the center. the presence of a Fast track system for quickly passing the queue. Magnificent view of the city.
The view from the cabins is impressive. It is a pity that it is not always possible to take pictures against a good background due to the large number of people and still very long queues
Yes, it is a tourist attraction. But I am in love with this magnificent city with every cell, and having been there countless times, I still enjoy the bird's-eye view with joy.
The queue, but it's moving fast enough.
One of the most famous attractions in London. From the top there is a wonderful view of the city.
Tickets can be purchased 20 meters away - there is a ticket office. It is better to come on a weekday evening - at 9 o'clock only 4 people were allowed into the cabin and there were no queues.
The cabins are completely transparent and move slowly. I think the most beautiful view is in the evening, when all the lights are on.
The wheel in Vegas is higher, and the city itself is more interestingly lit, but London also looks good 😀
The first thing that is necessary for this attraction is good weather, which does not happen very often in London) My family and I were lucky - August turned out to be sunny and without rain. Of course, I had to stand in line (about 45 minutes) - a lot of tourists, Chinese like in Beijing) The views are fantastic for the whole area. Very comfortable and spacious cabins - no one bothers anyone. I recommend then (you can also go to the wheel) to the London Aquarium, which is nearby. For the fullness of sensations))

From the time you realize that this Ferris wheel is already part of the history of London and one of the attractions! Must-visit!
To ride one of the 32 capsules for 30 minutes, you usually need to stand in 2 queues: for a ticket and for admission. It is better to buy a ticket online or several tickets to different attractions at once, so as not to stand in every queue. There is also such a thing as Fast Track in London, when you pass by everyone as a VIP. However, you can stand up for the same important people)
It's worth a ride, although the 135-meter Ferris wheel is not the highest point in London.
Above this, you can see London from the 310-meter high The Shard.
Have a nice trip! :)
You stand for an hour, then crawl in a circle for 25 minutes to look at a dirty river, a hardened big ben...
30 Pounds from the nose to the wind. By the way, the wind is very strong there!
At the beginning and at the end they take pictures in order to sell them later.
