The The London Eye and Westminster are amongst London's most popular attractions- and justifiably so. The London Eye was built as part of the Millenium celebrations in London's and quickly became an institution and an integral part of the London Skyline. Over the Thames River, the tower which houses the Big Ben Bell is an equally, but older, symbol of London. A short walk over Waterloo Bridge apart, they're easily combined into a days outing in London.
