Spending a summer in London may not be your ordinary
summer. With its unpredictable
forecasts, London cannot promise short shorts, ice cream, and other obvious
elements of the season. However,
there is one attraction that may trigger your summer memories of fairs and
carnivals: the London Eye, essentially a Ferris wheel upgraded to its
finest. The best part is that it
is open all year long.
Not your typical Ferris wheel, each capsule can carry up
to 25 passengers. Pertinent to its
name, it is truly the eye of London as it is all glass and offers a 360-degree
view at different heights. It is
no wonder that visitors have made “the world’s tallest cantilevered observation
wheel” UK’s most popular paid tourist attraction. It is almost like a view from the window seat of an
airplane, but better. Tourists
cannot get a better view of London anywhere else. Its architecture already makes one feel futuristic in such
an advanced version of the carnival wheel, but the view is what can transport
you in time. London’s historical
landmarks as well as the city’s cosmopolitan lifestyle, with Southbank at the
Eye’s base, can all be taken in a photograph from inside the capsule. The dream of viewing the city’s beauty
remarkably transforms into reality during every second of the London Eye
experience.
This masterpiece is one to admire for its design as well
as for what it offers.
