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.

Going on a trip with your sweetie? What would an attraction with so many breathtaking views, and wonderful sights be without a romance package?
