Great views and good value if you have a Merlin Annual Pass. You can bypass the big crowds if you have a pass and there is also the London Aquarium right next door. The capsules go around quite slowly so you get plenty of time to see the sights across the river such as Big Ben and the Houses Of Parliament. There is a garden and play park right next to the London Eye where you can take a break and have a picnic. In November they light it up and launch fireworks from it!
