London Eye

Jubilee Gardens, South Bank, London, London, SE1 7PB
The London Eye elbowed its way onto the capital's tourist scene as one of the statement pieces to mark the turn of the century (see also The Millennium Bridge) and quickly became a definitive part of the London experience. This spectacularly streamlined riverside wheel stands an impressive 135 meters tall and its sleek, modern, totally see-through glass-pods offer an unrivalled 360-degree view of London and beyond. The Houses of Parliament, Canary Wharf, Big Ben, the glorious old winding Father Thames and Windsor Castle are just a few of the 55 attractions that can be admired from the top of the arc. On a clear day the view extends to 25 miles in each direction. It moves at a slow but steady pace, taking 30 minutes to complete its flight. Because of its popularity, there are usually lengthy queues to book tickets and then to board the flight. Online booking saves time. A variety of different ticketing options and packages are available depending on your individual requirements. You can choose to upgrade to a Fast Track ticket, which entitles you to check in just 15 minutes before your flight, or spend the flight in the company of a London guide or a glass of champagne. The flight only lasts 30 minutes and its bound to be busy but this is still top of the London must-do list.

COMPETITION: To celebrate the Queen's 60 year reign, the EDF Energy London Eye has commissioned a survey to reveal which British moment since the Queen's coronation in 1952 the nation considers the most iconic. The moment which is voted favourite will be brought back to life in one of the London Eye's 32 capsules offering the winner and his/her guests the opportunity to re-live the magic of the winning moment. LondonTown is giving one lucky reader the chance to take 19 of their friends and family on this bespoke Iconic Moment Capsule on Saturday 26th May at 10:30am. The capsule will be decorated to bring to life the moment which is voted the most iconic. Guests will be able to take in London's panoramic views, as well as look in depth at specific landmarks on the new Samsung Galaxy interactive touch screen guides, installed at the beginning of 2012. In addition, the winner and their guests will get free entry into the 4D Experience. To enter, simply answer the question below.

Barnabas Collins re-awakens almost 200 years after a witch called Angelique cursed him to walk the earth as a vampire. While Barnabas acclimatises to the groovy customs and retina-searing fashions of swinging 1972 Maine, Angelique returns to make his undead life a misery.
