"Since opening in 1999, this giant Ferris wheel has become one of the city’s most popular landmarks. The London Eye is a great option for those who are short on time. Hop onboard the glass pods and enjoy views of St Paul’s Cathedral, Tower Bridge, The Shard, and the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. In the evening, visitors can enjoy the bright city lights for a more romantic experience. The ride lasts just 30 minutes, and you must be prepared for long queues during weekends and school summer holidays (end of July through early September). To beat those lines, it’s advisable to book a timed slot online." - MATADOR_NETWORK
