London Eye

Behold the London Eye!

The London Eye is the world's largest Ferris wheel. It is 443 feet tall and is located across the River Thames from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. I get the impression that some folks think building a giant Ferris wheel in the middle of historic London was not such a good idea. They are wrong, it is cool.

Case in point, check the pods as seen from aboard the Eye:

And the happy tourists...

Actually it goes really slow. A ride on the Eye is one revolution, and it takes about half an hour. The pods are key in rainy/cold weather.
