We took a ride on the London Eye while we visited London last week and it was awesome. The day before we rode all around town on a bus tour so it was fun to see the whole city from a birds eye view. It was fun to see how big the city really is. The first picture was taken on Christmas day thats why the sky is different than the rest of the pictures. Unfortunately it wasn't a real sunny day when we went up but it was still fun. You can see forever up there. The "Eye" is about 460 feet tall and each capsule can hold 20 to 30 people. It never stops moving which can make getting on and off a bit tricky, even though it moves pretty slow. There's a bench in the middle of each capsule but most people stand up next to the windows and move around to see from every angle. Also because the speed is so slow it makes for a nice long ride. Here's a link if any of you want to check it out. Also, a bit more of information, the entire eye can be rented out for a little over 350 GBP, that's close to $700.00 USD.
