A Riverside Walk with the London Eye Behind You

⭐Rating (out of 5): ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ✈️Travel Review: Starting the day in front of the London Eye, the giant Ferris wheel was both grand and majestic, embodying London's unique serene elegance. Walking along the riverside path by the Thames, you can hear the music of street performers blending naturally with locals holding coffee cups in hand. London's charm isn't flashy or exaggerated; instead, it quietly seeps into your heart. Centered around the landmark of the London Eye, the surrounding streets felt like a scene from a movie, filled with a calm and leisurely atmosphere. At night, the sight of the Ferris wheel slowly turning under the sparkling lights was also unforgettable. 📍How to Get There: Get off at Waterloo Station and walk for 5 minutes (accessible via Jubilee Line or Bakerloo Line). Located on the South Bank of the Thames, right next to Westminster Bridge. Since the queue for the London Eye can be long, visiting in the morning is recommended. 🌿Attractions: - London Eye: A Ferris wheel offering panoramic views of the Thames, Westminster Abbey, and central London. - South Bank Street: A charming area with street performers, bustling markets, and street food. - Westminster Bridge: A photo spot where you can capture both the London Eye and Big Ben. - National Theatre, Southbank Centre: Cultural districts where you can feel an artistic vibe. 🍽️Recommended Food & Restaurants: - Giraffe Southbank: A brunch spot near the London Eye where you can dine with a view of the Ferris wheel. - Skylon: A high-end restaurant in the heart of South Bank, perfect for an evening meal with great ambiance. - Wahaca: A Mexican street food specialty restaurant, ideal for a light meal with a touch of London charm. 🛍️Shopping Info: Near the London Eye, there are small souvenir shops where you can buy 'I ❤️ London' tumblers, magnets, and royal family-themed goods. At the South Bank Book Market, you'll find second-hand books, art posters, and handmade goods by local artists. If you head to nearby Waterloo Station or Covent Garden, you'll find a variety of large brand stores and stylish boutique shops, making it a great shopping route. 👍🏻Recommended Traveler Style: - Travelers who want to feel the charm of the city. - Those who enjoy scenic views and leisurely walks. - Perfect for anyone who wants to experience the classic British atmosphere and street art. 🥰One-Line Review of the Destination: Like the gently flowing river, London's charm quietly spread through my heart.

London Eye

[London's landmark that excites you just by looking at it - London Eye] What landmarks come to mind when you think of London? There are so many, like the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Big Ben, The Shard, St. Paul's Cathedral, and the red bus, which is not a landmark. This time, I'll introduce you to the London Eye :) 🎡 London Eye ​ Fee: Adults £27. Time required: Approximately 30 minutes per lap The London Eye is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world, installed by British Airways in 1999 and 2000. The current color of the London Eye is red because it is sponsored by Coca-Cola. A few years ago, it was blue because it was sponsored by Samsung😇 Photos 1 and 2 📍Side of the London Eye - Westminster Bridge This is the prettiest London Eye photo zone in my opinion😍 From the green Westminster Bridge, you can look at the side of the London Eye and see Big Ben, like in photo 2. Photos 3-6 📍London Eye, across the Thames This is where you can see the London Eye right in the middle of the river. There are many famous photos, such as the photo that looks like you're holding the London Eye and the London Eye crown selfie. Those photos were taken at this photo zone. And the Blue Zone where the London Eye fireworks New Year's countdown is held is also right here😊 Photos 7-9 📍Jubilee Park & ​​Garden Jubilee Garden where the London Eye Ferris wheel boarding gate is located.! When I first went to London, I honestly marked the London Eye on the map and walked there slowlyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ So of course I couldn't take pictures of the crown view that I always saw in pictures😆😆 But it was summer so it was green and the flowers were in full bloom so I was able to take pretty pictures🌿 #LondonTravel #London #EnglandTravel #England #EuropeTravel #LondonEye #WestminsterBridge #BigBen #TrekkingTravel #london #londoneye #england #NewYearTravel #NextTimeHere #2019Travel #LifeShotPlace #LifeTravelDestination #YearEndTravel #WinterTravel #SafeTravel #CityTravel
