The Eye, London, England
Here’s a quick snapshot of the London Eye. I took this picture from a river cruise of the Thames when I decided to spend a day as a tourist in a city I have lived near for a few years, to get a different perspective of the sights you can take for granted.
It was a cloudy June day but the rain held off. I visited Madam Tussauds wax work museum (over-rated) and Sea Life London Aquarium (fantastic but crowded), took a river cruise and had a long lunch by the river leisurely drinking Prosecco, and munching on whitebait.
I have never been on the Eye, as its quite expensive, but I do fancy taking the view in from the top the Shard, London’s newest attraction, and trying out the ‘Up at the 02’ walk across the roof of the arena. Have you done any of these London activities? If you could only pick one of the three, which one would you choose?
The Eye. You can see a lot of London from up there.
Yeah at 135m I imagine it does give one a beautiful vantage point of the city, however the Shard stands at 310m and is the tallest building in Western Europe, although I imagine you are not going to see much on a cloudy day!
I love your pic 😉
Thanks for the compliment!
I love the picture, and I think if I had the choice I would do the Eye.
I’d choose the London Eye – it would be such a great view!
Seems like the prevailing opinion is the Eye. My colleague went up the Shard last week and as it was a bit foggy, there was nothing to see. She did get a voucher to rebook the experience however. Anyone done the ‘Up at The O2’ roof walk?
You will have to go up some day! I went up years ago. Loved the view. It was an experience.
Think I need to get myself on the Eye sharpish!
I’ve been on the London Eye several times. I’ve been to London quite a few times, and with a lot of different people. And most of them wanted to go on the London Eye so there you go. 🙂 I have some wonderful pictures of the Eye that I just put on my computer, I should put them up on my blog one day.
Thanks for your comment and I will look forward to seeing your photos on your blog soon!
