A HUGE FERRIS WHEEL?- Basically yes it is a huge ferris wheel but it is really a great feat of engineering and bare in mind not all ferris wheels have views over the whole of central London.

WHAT CAN YOU SEE - What you would expect to see especially on a clear day up to 25miles. Great views of westminster houses of parliment , bukingham palace ,St.Pauls. As a tip i would by a ariel map they offer when queing it is an extra £2 on an already steep price but it makes seeing the 25miles worth looking at not just buildings on top of buildings.

The Pod- This is the oval shaped glass you go in , it is spacious and can fit about 20-25 people with seating in the centre comfortably , you can see all the way around apart from the floor which is not glass which i think is a shame.

How long does it take- Definiately long enough , on a nice day expect to be queeing for 20mins to get tickets and then another 20mins to get on the ride and then the duration of the ride another 30mins. Young children may easily get bored.

Pricese - Individual Flight Adult £13.00
Individual Flight Child £6.50
Individual Flight Under fives FREE
Fast Track Adult £25.00
Discovery Flight Adult £15.00
Discovery Flight Child £7.50
Champagne Flight Adult £29.50
Private Capsule £385.00

MY VERDICT- It is worth going on once but it is nothing out of the ordinary and after the excitement of being 135m in the air you can find yourself getting bored and for the price not the best attraction you ever going to go on.
