The London Eye is a huge, modern version of Vienna's Prater ferris wheel. The Eye dominates the river skyline opposite the Parliament. Previously, queues for the London Eye were horrendous, but since a new ticketing system was put in place, things have improved markedly.
You can book a whole capsule if you wish. Take a telephoto lens if you want to get a good photo of something specific from the top of the Eye - London is a VERY big city. Our favourite natural vantage points lie at the top of Greenwich Hill. Near the Ranger's House or the Observatory there are much more atmospheric scenes as the sun slices down the city skyscrapers. Another good viewpoint is Parliament Hill, on Hampstead Heath or Primrose Hill in Regent's Park. A spin on the London Eye and a quick trip to the surrounding area can make a nice group trip. If you're looking to book a trip, you may want to look into a coach hire to simplify your planning.
As far as booking your ride on the London Eye, make sure there's good weather before you go up as it's a really depressing ride when it's rainy and overcast. The Eye is usually closed for its annual maintenance at the end of January/beginning of February, so be sure to check their website.
Fast voyage to London Eye and the nearby region can style an enjoyable group journey. If you're observing to reserve a journey, you must need to look into a Minibus Hire Service to make simpler your scheduling.
