This is the terrific, giant "Ferris Wheel" that towers over the Thames and can be seen from just about anywhere in London. Conversely, you can see just about all of London from The Eye. It's a "must do," preferably at the beginning of your London visit. It'll give you an eagle's eye view of the city you're about to discover. If you already know London but haven't tried the Eye, you'll appreciate seeing your favorite places from this fabulous perspective. If you balk at the fare, it's worth every penny. The only way to get a better view is to hire helicopter. The Eye is also very accessible, so if you have a mobility issue, it shouldn't be a problem at all. The operators actually stop the Eye so that getting on and off is a breeze. There are ramps, disabled discounts, and something called the Fast Track which means you don't have to wait in a long line to board.

It's a tour through the torture history of London. It's like a museum walk through tour where you walk by exhibits of torture methods used over history. It's a fun tour and it's a little creepy, but it was my favorite thing I did on my first trip to London.
