Discover London by British Airway’s London Eye

Hi Friends,

According to Underground map, London has been divided into 6 different zone and city center  is situated in zone 1. Many travelers would like to experience the viewpoint of capital city from the top and of course, you can view this great capital city from the summit point via boarding to the British Airway’s London eye.

London Eye is the tallest Ferris Wheel in Europe located near the River Thames. On 9 March 2010, this place has just celebrated its 10th birthday. Also, in June 2008, it has been announced that more than 30 million travelers have already enjoyed riding this wheel (Of course, I’m one of them).  This Wheel has been build by the British Airway with approximately 135 meters high as it is the place that currently deemed to be one of symbol of London apart from Big Ben and Westminster that travellers can’t miss when visiting London.

How to go there?
The easiest way to visit London eye is by using the Underground Train and stop by Waterloo station, then, you will see this tallest Ferris Wheel in Europe.

Ticket Price
The ticket price for boarding this Farris Wheel is affordable if compared to the great London scenery that you will see as the price is 18.50 GBP for adult and 9.50 GBP for children (ages 4-15).

After Boarding London Eye, you will see the scenery of the River Thames together with the Big Ben, Westminster, Tower of London, Tower Bridge and many interesting spot of London from this wheel and I guarantee that you will enjoy taking tons of photo while boarding the London Eye.

In my opinion, if you have a chance to visit this capital city of England, the London Eye is the place that you can’t miss because if you’re not boarding this British Airway Ferris Wheel, it shall be deemed that you’ve never visit the capital city of England.

See Wonderful Street Show at Covent Garden London

Hello friends,

Welcome to the year 2011,

London is one of the most expensive cities in the world. Of course, travellers would like to shopping at the Oxford Street and see great Theater performance like the Phatom of Opera, the Lion King etc. But, in order to shopping and seeing the show in London, you may have to spend high budget. Therefore, today i would like to recommend to you one place that you can enjoy both entertainment and shopping at the same time without spending more budget as this place is called "Covent Garden".

Covent Garden is situated at the city center of London as this place incorporated with 13 theatres with famous show like the Phantom of Opera and The Lion King also more than 60 pubs and bars are avaible for hang out. However, the most eminent show available in Covent Garden is known as "Street Performance" as you will enjoy lovely and incredible show from many types of performers whether art or music with free of charge. You will see the Covent Garden's street performance starting from the London Underground Station to the old market where many artistic work are sold with affordable price.

The wonderful street performance includes for instance acoustic guitar solos, magician, violin solo. The most favorite street performance show in my opinion is the "Living Statues" because sometime you may not notice that the statue is, in fact, human until you walk in front of such statues which make many tourists enjoyable and if you enjoy the show, you should award the performers some GBP.

The shopping shop in Covent Garden combined with the brand name shop and old market shopping center which you can buy t-shirt, bags, artistic work and many more items with affordable price. In my opinion, Covent Garden is one of interesting spot in London that you can't miss when visiting this expensive wonderful capital city of United Kingdom.

How to go to Covent Garden
-The easiest way to visit this place is by London Underground via "Picadilly Line" and stop at Covent Garden Station.
