If you're visiting London and want to dive straight into sightseeing without the stress of navigating public transport, taking an Stansted airport taxi to the London Eye is an excellent choice. The London Eye is one of the world’s most iconic observation wheels, offering stunning 360-degree views of the London skyline. Perched 135 metres (443 feet) high on the south bank of the River Thames, this architectural masterpiece has been a popular attraction since its opening in 2000. Visitors can enjoy views of iconic landmarks such as Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, St Paul’s, the Cathedral, Tower Bridge and even Windsor Castle on a clear day. It takes around 30 minutes to complete, enough time to enjoy the views and take memorable photographs. The River Thames is illuminated and reflected, a dazzling sight in itself. The London Eye is more than just an observation wheel; it is a modern icon of the city, offering locals and visitors an unforgettable experience above one of the world’s most powerful cities.
