London Eye & London Eye River Cruise

The London Eye, a giant Ferris wheel on the South Bank of the River Thames, offers panoramic views of the city's skyline, including landmarks like Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the Tower Bridge. Each rotation takes about 30 minutes, giving you ample time to take in the sights.
