Do you want to see the London’s famous landmarks like Big Ben and Houses of Parliament? Not only that, but you can also enjoy other spectacular views across London. Why not try to ride at one of London’s most recognizable attractions-British Airways London Eye, aka the Millennium Wheel? I ride here once at British Airway’s London Eye and all I can say is… really amazing!!!

According to wikipedia, the London Eye is the world’s largest observation wheel, situated on the South Bank of the Thames. Reaching a height of 135m (450 ft), the British Airways London Eye will become London’s fourth tallest structure. The wheel gives passengers a totally new perspective of some of the capital’s most famous landmarks and provides a bird’s-eye view usually afforded only by helicopter or aircraft. London architects David Marks and Julia Barfield conceived and designed the London Eye to celebrate the Millennium and beyond.

This foxglove flower looks very nice and lovely, but behind the elegant looking plant lays a real danger. Every part of the Foxglove plant is poisonous, so if you have inquisitive little kids or pets who are inclined to chew, this is not an appropriate plant for the garden. Even touching foxgloves can cause rashes and headaches.
