The Experience
The highlight of any visit to London is a 'flight' on the World renowned BA London Eye, the World's largest observation wheel. At an incredible 135 metres above the River Thames in a high-tech fully enclosed capsule the 360 degree panoramic views are truly breathtaking. You will have the special 'guided tour' and will be able to see the House of Parliament, St Paul's and Hampstead Heath. If the day is perfect you may be able to also see as far as Windsor Castle! With views stretching 25 miles it is an incredible journey spotting London's famous streets, churches, palaces and monuments spread out below in a panoramic scene grown up from Roman times.
Be guided through the history of London on your 30 minute Discovery Flight with a London Eye guide. From Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral and Nelson's Column to the new gherkin building, discover how London's present day skyline has been shaped by events through the ages. You will discover famous buildings like the Prime Minister's residence, 10 Downing Street, that are hard to spot from your London Eye capsule without a guide. And discover the amazing story of how the London Eye was built.
For a completely different perspective consider a night flight. Visit the Eye after dark and you will enjoy spectacular panoramic views of London with stunning buildings such as the Houses of Parliament, St Paul's Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and the Oxo Tower lit up. Alternatively, visit at sunset and see the skyline awash with vibrant colours and the city's lights come on.
