I'm a born and bred Londoner, but this was the first time I'd been to the tourist mecca of the London Eye.

We did the 2-for-1 train deal which kept the cost down to a more reasonable level and at that price, it was well worth the money.

The 'flight' is very smooth and takes 30 minutes. The views are fabulous. There's plenty of opportunity to move round the pod and I was happy to find out there was no ongoing running commentary.
