a person on the London eye can see a view on London extending
for over twenty-five miles.

and achievements from London's first Millennium
ward in the year
2000, for its outstanding contribution to the capitals
architecture, to the best attraction for group travel in 2003.
One of the largest of its kind, the London Eye can carry eight
hundred passengers at a time, within its thirty-two different
passenger pods, on a thirty-minute sight seeing journey from
above. Over the course of a day, the London Eye can carry over
15,000 separate visitors, as
many people as it would take to
fill the Concorde one hundred and fifty times.
The London Eye is a wonderful trip for children, and adults
alike, offering every passenger a fantastic view of London and a
fantastic time. There are a variety of different "flight"
options you can make for your trip on the London Eye depending
on what you would like to gain out of your travel experience on
the eye.
For
instance, the London Eye offers "Discovery Flights". A
Discovery flight will be a flight just the same as any other,
but a tour guide will be present to point out special landmarks
to those who are on the flight. If this is your first trip to
London, you may appreciate taking one of these flights and
having a local point out special landmarks that you might have
otherwise missed.
If you are trying to plan the
perfect evening, then you might
start with a private capsule on the London Eye. The London Eye

the flight. A private capsule on the London Eye can be the

with those close to you while soaring above the London skyline.

package, which is designed for two lovebirds to soar through the
London skyline all by them. The package includes a bottle
of
Perrier, and a box or chocolates, as well as the couple's very

be more romantic than floating through the stars with a loved
one enjoying champagne and luxury chocolates.

married on the London Eye as well. The London Eye offers
reasonable priced weddings that allow the bridge, groom
and
guests to board a private capsule where the wedding ceremony
takes place. You and your significant other are pronounced
