The London Eye

The London Eye is a must-visit... and make sure you get there just a few minutes before sunset.

A good way to approach the London Eye is by taking one of the many ferries from piers near London Bridge (which isn't interesting at all) or Tower of London (which is where the real sexy bridge is :))

Most tour buses will sell you tickets on the bus itself, and once you reach, you can skip the ticket lines (although you still need to go collect your tickets from a special counter). Takes a few minutes of queue to board the glass capsules, and then you are off, slow and steady until the entire city stretches in a majestic spread before you. Simply beautiful.

Glorious views

Nopes, not ducks or crocs

I love this pic!
