Teen Verdict

As a kid growing up in London, I’ve been on the London Eye a few times throughout my childhood. Now as a teenager, I absolutely loved going back with my mates. It’s a great event to plan your day around and we had a blast trying to point to where our houses were and people spotting. Definitely an attraction that is good for kids, teenagers and adults.
