Default Had a little trip out today....

Got bored at work last week, so booked this morning off, went for a little walk around break and decided to have a go on the London Eye.

Never been on it before, even though I only work 15 min's stroll away from it!

Took loads of piccy's and here are a tiny selection....



Views from the top (if it's a good clear day) are pretty good.....


Took this shot of Charing Cross Station from an angle that you don't normally see...


And of course, you can't miss this place.....


I like this piccy best though..... Just seems to catch all the action going on around there on a sunny (but cold) London day...


Probably not going to interest many people on here, but there have been a few other non-scooby threads lately, so I thought what the hell.... why not - I can only be told off once......

Cool pics , went on the Eye last month, was a bit worried about the height issue but once I was in the pod there was not much I could do , but the view is spectacular and we were lucky enough with the weather too, went on the Thames clipper afterwards down to "Tate Modern" and then onto Greenwich for a meal, the good thing about the clipper is it launches right outside my office ( Canary Wharf ) and I go on it all the time, it's great to London from a diffrent vantage point .

If you've not been on the eye you should it's great !!

TBH Don't really know - I didn't notice as the sun was shining in the whole time and it got a bit warmish towards the end - so much so that I took my coat off about half way round, so I guess they were, but I guess the only place there could have been any heating element was under the main bench seat in the middle (but I didn't look).......
