The London Eye with a view of the River Thames
London Eye : The largest observation wheel in the world; the “Millennium Wheel”, or the London Eye was initially erected as a temporary structure. It soon became a fixture, and now draws four million visitors a year. Daily rides are on offer and on a clear day you can just about see Windsor Castle on the horizon. On any other day and assuming it is not pouring with rain you have a fabulous 360degree view of London.
The view at night is just spectacular and you can pre-book sunset rides too. Lucky for us the London Eye hosts the New Year celebrations with a spectaular, multi-coloured display of fire-works. The best in the world 
Also to be seen next to the London Eye is the Aquarium.
As you cross Westminster bridge, be sure to stop and take in the views of the river on each side and especially of the Houses of Parliament that back onto the river.
