The London Eye

posted by qrodacker on 1 July 2009 at 01:43

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.

Notting Hill Carnival

posted by Keir on 22 March 2007 at 16:15

Carnival weekend is one I really look forward to on the London calendar, (late august). Despite the incredible numbers of people shoehorned into the streets the atmosphere is fun loving and full of smiles. The main attraction is the parade which is as colourful and musical as you'd imagine - those with sensitive ears be warned, it is LOUD! Inside the ring formed by the parade route there is plenty to do and see with music stands and street sellers a plenty. Dancing in the street and the smell of "d erb" abounds without so much as a raised eyebrow from the local constabulary! Jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain, goat curry - all musts as far as I'm concerned. GO!
