After the Globe Theatre we had a lovely lunch then headed to the London Eye. The London Eye is located on the bank of the River Thames and it is the tallest observation wheel in the world at 135 meters tall. In its short lifespan (it opened in the new millenium) it has become as iconic a landmark as Big Ben and the Tower of London. In fact, it has become the most popular paid for UK visitor attraction, partly because it provides breathtaking views up to 40 kilometres in all directions on a clear day, while providing the rider comfort and safety.
