You ride in a glass capsule with about twenty others for a slow 30-minute turn. Near the top Big Ben and Parliament sit right below you, and on a clear day the view runs on to St Paul's dome and the City towers. The capsules are roomy, so getting photos is easy. At roughly £29–39 for half an hour, though, reviews split on whether it's better ridden or just admired from outside.
