Although London is a great place for tourists with a lot of signs and historical places, London Eye (aka “Eye” and “Millennium Wheel”) is definitely a “must-see” when visiting London. Read the rest of this page »
British Airways sponsored London Eye, so it officially named “the British Airways London Eye” while visiting observation wheel called “flight”.
Eye grants you the best bird’s eye views of London. It’s incredible photogenic at sunset.
It moves slowly, so you will have enough time for Central London sightseeing and enjoy the ride.

London restaurants with kids
There are two places all kids love, whether London or Brighton, and that’s Gourmet Burger Kitchen (best burgers in London!) and Wagamama (oriental, not Chinese, some Japanese + Thai blend style) . This restaurant will appease all of you.
Both informal dinning experiences, child-friendly with kids menu & portions to suit.
Try Giraffe, locations around London.

London Dining with Kids
On the splurge issue, I think it’s impossible to name two don’t miss places w/o determining type of food or ambiance. One of the things I love about London is their ethnic food, esp. Indian which is far superior to anything in the US.
My favorite was always Bomabay Brasserie for both food and over the top ambiance. Rules is the popular place for an upscale, English meal (owned by the same folks as the Ivy, another popular place). I like Langans Brasserie for the “buzz” of the downstairs dining room or the Venice mural in the upstairs. Read the rest of this page »
