Even if it's really expensive (17 pounds for an adult, 8.5 pounds for a child 4-15 years old, and 14 pounds for seniors - 60 years plus - 2009 fares), even if you will definitely have to wait a long time in line, it's a must not to miss London Eye. Otherwise you will be really sorry. London Eye (also known as the Millennium Wheel) is located close to Jubilee Gardens, on the South Bank of the River Thames.
