About

One rotation takes about thirty minutes in a glass capsule that clears 135 metres, long enough to pick out Big Ben, St Paul's and the Shard from above the Thames without leaving your seat. It runs slowly enough that motion is barely noticeable, which makes it an easier sell for anyone nervous about heights than it looks from the ground. Book a fast track slot for sunset, the standard queue at that hour is the longest of the day.
