Have you visited The London Eye yet?

There has been a fad of late to find the most hidden gems, places no one has ever been to, discoveries even in busy and frequented cities like London. I will lie if I say I am not a fan of that, I am, but somehow I am very drawn to the old popular landmarks, even more, something about the time they have been around, memories and things like those. In London spending time by the Thames is one of my favourites and the view over it and the city from The London eye definitely on my top 5. 

Most recently I had the chance to experience the views from Coca cola London Eye on the last day of London fashion week  ss17, which means around the same time last year. After a hectic yet super exciting fashion week, I and my 2 blogger friends decided on ditching a cocktail event and instead of heading towards the Thames for a spin on our favourite wheel there is.  We were so done with all the hustle and wanted a relaxing time, luckily the sun was out and River Thames glistened. London eye always seems extremely soothing to me. Almost makes me feel like a child easing the tensions of adulthood. And so it was. Awestruck as ever to look at the Thames from up above, the Buckingham Palace, a scattering of autumn leaves below, trees some barren some still holding, it was a refreshing feeling and a wonderful sight. Bringing back many nostalgic memories for the 3 of us. One such memory for me was of my 4-year-old niece whose eyes twinkled just like the twinkle of the Thames on her first spin on the London Eye. She couldn't contain herself with her first 360 degrees view over the London landscape!!! Equally exciting for her were the tablets set at the perimeter of the capsule giving crisp info on the 44 featured buildings ( London's top attractions like The British Museum, St Pauls, etc)  when were they made, distance from the London Eye, etc 

We came down and to commemorate our visit got a picture clicked and then decided to take a small walk. There was still time so sat down for a hearty girly chat. It was around 4 pm and there was a sudden chill in the air but the view of our favourite Ferris wheel and the conversations were so comforting and warm that ice cream sounded like a good idea. Yes, we got two scoops each from the ice cream van near the entrance. Ah, I miss the day so much. Luckily for me, I have a visit planned around Christmas this year with my family. We are thinking of booking a slot around sunset, just can't wait, can't wait to reminisce old memories and to make new ones. 

Sharing with you some of my favourite pictures of The London Eye in my collection! Hope you enjoy!
