The London Eye

// June 9th, 2010 // Uncategorized

London is place of many amazing sights and if you are going through London and only have time to take in one attraction, it must see The London Eye.  In case you are not familiar with this attractions, it is the giant Ferris wheel that reaches 450 feet into the air.  As you ride on it, you will have the great pleasure of the 360 degree panoramic view of London.

This my friends, is the tallest observation wheel in the world.  This ride last for thirty minutes and when you are done, you will find it a hard ride to match. It is closed on Christmas day and most of January. Check online for the exact days and times of operation.  If you are coming from the Heathrow Airport, this will be an eighteen mile trip that should take about forty minutes. A wise choice would be to find a car hire at Heathrow Airport and get directions from there.

If you are a fan of race horses, then you will find the Ascot Racecourse one of the most famous. It was Queen Ann who founded this race tack back in 1711 and currently hosts nine of the UK’s Group 1 races. It is just fifteen miles from the airport.
