The pods on the London Eye
It was supposed to be temporary, but this huge wheel has become a permanently popular attraction. It’s not cheap, but it is a great way to see London from a different angle. We once booked a Champagne “flight” and as we were the only ones booked at that time, we had a pod to ourselves and a full bottle to drink! The Eye is at the front of County Hall. Nearest tubes: Westminster, Embankment or Waterloo.
