The London Eye - Critiques
Posté
Marzo 2012 Great experience on a clear day
Adrian À partir de London
I have actually been on the London Eye a number of times and as a Londoner I have been excited to take people visiting us there.
We once ended up there on a misty day and it was not great at all. But on a clear day or at sunset it is amazing.
The other tip is that you can buy your tickets at the cafe and don't necessarily need to go into the main building as directed (correct as of summer 2011 when I was last there).

Marzo 2012 An excellent introduction to London
Alice Bell À partir de London
Riding the London Eye is an excellent way to see all of London, especially for children who have never been to London before. I would recommend buying tickets in advance as the queues can get extremely long.

Marzo 2012 Clouded judgement
Ellie S À partir de London
It was many years ago that I went up in one of the London Eye's pods and I must say it was quite the disappointing experience. Being of a young age at the time I expected speed and thrills, a roller coaster ride of excitement. I think I'd somehow got the wrong end of the stick. To top it all off, when our pod made it to the top of the wheel, the clouds hung heavy over the London skyline and the view was less than ideal. So, if you're looking for the ride of your life, this may not be the one for you. But, if sightseeing is your game, then I'd imagine that this would be a great way to see London, as long as the sky is clear...

Marzo 2012 A High Time in London
Fred Wheelwright À partir de London
On a clear day, there aren't too many better ways to see London. The south bank is the ideal location for the London Eye, affording you views of Westminster, the City, and even as far out as the Crystal Palace transmitter tower. It's a slow ride, so there's plenty of time to take in the sights from every angle of your glass pod.
Great times for a visit are as the sun sets, or even after dark to see London lit up in all its nightly splendour. Pods are large enough to take your whole family, or to find a corner all to yourself where you can enjoy the trip undisturbed.
If you're in London, and want to see all the sights from the sky before you explore them on the street, there's no better way than to visit The Eye

Marzo 2012 A wheely good time...
Alex Plim À partir de London
London can often feel overcrowded and much too popular, especially when it comes to the sights. Many times have I visited places like Trafalgar Square and Westminster Abbey, every time becoming miserable and exhausted, muttering curses under my breath because I've been jostled and shoved and haven't actually enjoyed what I've gone to see.
The best thing about the London eye is that this doesn't happen. Once you've bought a ticket you can relax until it's your time to board, and once you're in the capsule you've plenty of space to move around and stretch. The experience doesn't go on for too long either - enough time to soak everything up, but not so long that you get bored.
I think the secret to the London Eye's success is that the wheel itself is not the attraction: London is. Once you're at the apex of the journey, it's the sprawl of the city you're gawping at, it's the other sights you're trying to spot, and it's your knowledge of the urban mass beneath you that you're challenging.
In short, I loved the London Eye because I love London. And it didn't go on for too long...

Marzo 2012 Good for seeing the city all at once
Mr. A À partir de Herts
A good one special occasions - my girlfriend and I went on it for her birthday. Queued for about ten minutes before boarding. The queue moves steadily because so many people can get in each pod and, since it never stops rotating, people board and alight seamlessly. The views from the top were pretty spectacular (if the weather's good) - you can see for miles. The little map they give you helps you pick out landmarks.
