London - view of the Thames and the London Eye

The Thames and The London Eye are both icons of London. This photograph, taken from Westminster Bridge, shows one of the many views of the London skyline which has been much photographed over the years. The London Eye itself, built for the millenium celebrations, quickly established itself as a tourist must-do when visiting London as the views from the top are absolutely fantastic - especially on a fine day such as this.
