Our ride on the London Eye was such a highlight of our trip! The views over London are absolutely incredible — seeing Big Ben, the Thames, and the city skyline from above gives you a whole new appreciation for how beautiful this city really is. The ride itself is smooth, spacious, and gives you plenty of time to soak it all in and snap photos without feeling rushed. One thing that would make the experience even more amazing? An optional audio feature inside the pod. Imagine being able to press a button and hear a quick 30–40 second fun fact about what you’re looking at — maybe one when you’re on the far right side of the wheel, one at the very top, and one on the far left. Just short, engaging tidbits that point out landmarks and share a cool story or bit of history. It would be such a fun way to learn while you look, and might even inspire visitors to explore more of the city afterward. Overall, such a memorable experience and 100% worth doing when you’re in London!

I had a good experience using the Stansted Express. The journey was smooth, comfortable, and very convenient for travelling between central London and the airport. There was a short halt due to a signal delay, but the driver kept passengers informed and apologised for the delay, which was appreciated. Overall, the service felt straightforward, reliable, and stress-free, and I would happily use it again.

The Muses were absolute show stealers, the decors were wonderful and even with a technical problem, they solved it quickly and we could enjoy the rest of the show. Costumes are incredible and the theatre in itself is gorgeous

The special effects create an immersive experience of Hawkins for the audience. The play can be considered as episode zero, a great addition to the series. The actors brought the characters alive in a marvelous way, and all the sounds and music gave the whole experience this eerie feeling very fitting with the story. A must see for every Stranger Things fan! If you have not seen the series yet, this is also a great way to start.

It was a really cool feeling to be in the Tower Bridge. The view up there is breathtaking. The photos I took from being up in the tower was beautiful. I felt like I could really take London in . It was really amazing (a bit nerve wracking too) to walk across the glass floor and that for me that was the highlight. Seeing London from that height was such a unique experience. Definitely worth visiting
