About London Eye

For an enticing experience, visitors can hop on a 40 minute London Eye river cruise along the River Thames. And, enjoy the sightseeing of major attractions, including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

History of London Eye

Built in between the year of 1998 and 2000, London Eye was intended to stand for a shorter duration. However, having proved to be one of the popular attractions of the place, it has been turned into a permanent fixture on the skyline of the city. Though, the official opening ceremony of the London Eye was held in the year of 1999, but due to some technical issues it was not open for public view until March 2000.

Architecture & Design of London Eye

There are 32 capsules on the London Eye which are air-conditioned, sealed and attached to the outer side of the Eye. Each of them represents the Boroughs of London, but they are numbered from 1 to 33 since they have excluded number 13 due to the superstition of bad luck. This masterpiece was designed by famous architects Nic Bailey, Frank Anatole, Steve Chilton, Mark Sparrowhawk, David Marks, Julia Barfield and Malcolm Cook.

Interesting Facts about the London Eye

London Eye travels at the speed of 0.6 miles per hour, which means you can complete a ride in 30 minutes.

More than 3.5 million tourists come and visit this beautiful place and make unforgettable memories with their loved ones.

It has 32 capsules for carrying passengers, and interestingly there are 33 capsules because they have excluded number 13 out of superstition.

Sylvia's 7 days trip to London

I traveled to London through Street Romeo Travel Planner. The staff be it Vaishali, Rinkal ,Mr Maulick are amazing. First Ms Vaishali handled my stay. They leave no stone unturned to give you a pleasant holiday. I was a solo traveler, and they helped me. During my end stay, I started having health issues but Ms Rinkal Sonani inspite of the time difference went out of her way to reschedule my Travel. Kudos to her and to the staff. Also it is very cost effective and dont burn your pockets unnecessary. And the best part is they are connected and inform you in advance of your next activity. I surely recommend them for your enjoyable journey with them. All Success to them. Keep Shining and keep Growing!!! Bon Voyage!!!

Nimishamukerjee's 6 days trip to London

Vishal Thakur was our co-ordinator from Knowravel Holiday Services. From day one to trip completion, he was always there assisting us, guiding us and answering our queries. As we were flexible with our dates, Vishal found us a very good deal on flights which reduced our travel budget by half. Overall package quote was very reasonable compared to the other agencies. He assisted us well for our UK and Schengen visas. The hotels where we stayed were very good and well connected for transport. The itinerary shared by Vishal was a good one which covered the main attractions for both the cities. We asked for some changes and he easily accommodated them. During the trip also Vishal was always available to assist us. Overall very happy with the services provided by Knowravel.

Svsvasan's 5 days trip to London

When I landed at Heathrow Airport cab and the cab driver, arranged by you for which I already paid and included in the package demanded 55 pounds more and I was made to pay that amount to the driver. This was informed to Mr.Prashant your contact person at London. He said he will check and do the needful. Please refund 55 pounds to me as the same was already paid to you which is included in the package itself. Thanks Srinivasan S V

Dreamplug's 8 days trip to London

This is in reference to the CRED London trip that was organized by Hub Holiday for us. Me and my partner had a awesome time in london. All the process was so easy, thanks to Yeeshu. I would like to give 5 out of of 5 ratings for all the help and support. Yeeshu was always available on phone, even when we were abroad and made sure we were not facing any trouble. A special mention of Prashant for helping us out while we were abroad. Prashant and Yeeshu made sure that we are taken care of even post-booking and its not just making the bookings but the overall experience of holidays with them. I would definitely recommend both of you and hubholiday to my friends and family for their next holiday bookings. Thankd and Regards, KAPIL BADWAL

Arpita's 5 days trip to London

Paras from Hub Holidays was my travel planner. He had made a good package keeping in mind that my mother and me were travelling together and this was our first trip to London. With regards to Hotels, both were good and located in the center of the city which made a lot of sight seeing attractions accessible by foot for us. Also restaurants and markets were nearby which benefited us. Flights suggested was the best. Even the attractions were good . Also to mention here, the trip was worked out as per the budget requested by me. Thank you guys for creating beautiful souvenirs for us :)

Mudit's 11 days trip to London

We got UK package for 6 nights and 7 days from CRED. And it was the best decision of Travel triangle to assign my trip to be arranged by HubHoliday. Hubholiday are too good in planning and customizing the trips especially Yeeshu who plans itinerary has been diligent in doing so. Also post booking the service they provide is much better and should be appreciated. Visa services provided by them was also excellent and efforts by Yeeshu to pre travel was really excellent he takes care of everything related to travel period is commendable.The best part about them is you get your query answered in like less than a minute any time of day or night especially during travel in UK, Yeeshu was always available to help on days and even on nights. We we're impressed so much and one of my friend after viewing our holiday pics on social media booked a trip from Travel triangle immediately for his Europe travel even before we were back from our trip. Just few points customized takes care of everything but still we need to do basic homework like checking docs and validating all tickets provided before travel to make smooth trip. Thanks Hubholiday and especially Yeeshu for your entire assistance and effort and making our UK trip possible. Will definitely take further trips with them and recommend others. Once again thanks for making our trip smooth.
