Harrow, London

Advantages: Very interesting - good views and commentary.
Disadvantages: If its foggy - forget going on the wheel.

...This has to be the best attraction in London. I went on the Eye around dusk, so over the whole 30 minute duration of the ride I saw London in light and in dark. The ride goes very slowly and the capsule rotates, although you cannot feel it. The views from the top are excellent. From what I can remember you could see as far as Harrow on the Hill, the hotel we were staying at that time. You could also see famous landmarks such as the MI5 building, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Houses of Parliament. The ticket price is reasonable and you get excellent value for money. Despite having to queue, it didn't take us very long to get to the front. The staff were also very helpful. In all, a fun day was had by all!... Read review

...If the government wants people to get out of their cars and use public transport, then Mr Blair & co sure have a lot of work to do. I live in Pinner, and I want to go to Harrow on the Hill which is 2 stops away. I could get a lift, but there may well be quite a lot of traffic. So I wait there on the platform, staring at my watch, and the train doesn't come. Suddenly, some irritating and sqwawky voice comes over the PA and babbles about something or the other (I can't quite make it out) but I hear the word 'cancelled'. I could have walked to Harrow quicker! And I had to pay a quid for this! Then I hear on the news of how a train comes BACKWARDS into a station! Yeah right Mr Blair, lets all get on the tube and lets live our days an hour behind for the rest of our days.... Read review
