Despite being a Londoner this was my first time on The London Eye. Set on the Southbank of the River Thames, five minutes walk from Waterloo Station.. the London eye is like a huge wheel. Each pod is roomy and made of toughened glass. As the pod rises... London attractions become visible. You can see Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and St Georges Cathedral to name just a few. We went mid winter so it wasn't that crowded and we walked straight on.
