London Eye up close

When visiting London you can make a stop at the top attractions like Big Ben, Madame Tussauds, Houses of Parliament, … And even though I did see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, I was glad to experience a different side of London. Walking towards the London Eye, I was pleasantly surprised by the volume of people visiting here.

The place was buzzing from people looking around to have a look at the London Eye up close, wander around the shops, but also take in the many street performers. This was probably one of my favorite places while in London! The atmosphere that welcomes you when walking around here is just amazing.

It reminds me of the local fiestas back home in the Philippines where the Ferris Wheel has been always an attraction of the occasion.
