London Vs Berlin: the view from above


UK's rival to the Fernsehturm, the British Airways London Eye is an enormous ferriswheel situated on the river Thames (pictured above, made sensible by cocking your head 90 degrees to the left). Look at it there. Isn't it grand? There it goes. Whoooo. So here now are some of the views made possible by said Eye.


Above: People wandering, ant-like, along Southbank.


Above: Andrew, whose hobbies include great heights, blue jackets and not shaving for days, surveys his birth-city with nostalgic gusto.


Above: Myself, noticably crusty from an early morning start, posing for the camera.


Above: The Millenium Bridge over the Thames.


Above: "Hey kids! Look! There's Big Ben! And Parliament! Big Ben...Parliament...Big Ben..."


Above: London in winter on a good day. ...I miss the sun!

So is London's amusement ride better than the pride of Berlin? You decide.

How could anyone possibly vote against the London Eye! It gives you a far superior array of landmarks to view: Parliament, Big Ben, The Tate Gallery, Buck Palace, Trafalgar Sq., St. Pauls, The Strand, The Old Bailey, Australia House, Tower Bridge etc. etc. Not only that, any question you ask will be answered in a language you understand!
