The London Eye. A freebie, and certainly not worth the £29 they usually charge!

Generally, I try and hone in on offbeat, unusual and quirky tourist attractions- but sometimes only mainstream will do!

This is the third time I've been on the London Eye- the first being twenty years ago and the second, ten. It was opened in 2000 and was, at the time, the world's tallest ferris wheel, standing at 135 metres (443 feet) high. There are 32 sealed, air conditioned capsules, and the pods can hold up to 25 people (there were less than that in my pod...)

This was a freebie, courtesy of the Sun newspaper. If you just rock up then it will cost you £29. Is it worth that, for a half-hour revolution? Hell, no! But do check out what price reductions are available- I've come across Tesco vouchers before and also money-off offers if you've travelled here by train. Merlin Entertainments also do "attraction bundles," so you pay less per attraction if you're visiting more than one.

Come and take and take a walk in my shoes and I'll show you some of London's sights; including the Shard and the Sky Garden.
