St Paul's Cathedral

The iconic domed roof of St Paul's Cathedral marks its place on the London skyline, just next to the Millennium Bridge across the River Thames.

Alongside regular Christian services, you can also visit this spectacular building to admire the architecture and history here.

View of the London Eye

Highlight • Viewpoint

On the banks of the Thames, the world's third largest ferris wheel (the highest in 2004) revolves around the 135-meter-high Coca Cola London Eye. In the center of London you can take a short trip to heaven and enjoy a great view over London. Weather permitting, you can look up to 40 kilometers beyond the city limits of London to Windsor Castle.

From this central vantage point, one can see both the old traditional London and the many modern buildings and influences. Thus, the London Eye also stands for the changing times and should at the same time provide a glimpse into the past and the outlook for the future. Fittingly, the Ferris wheel was then opened to visitors at the turn of the millennium in the year 2000.

The building was designed by the architects David Markus and Julia Barfield - the gondolas were designed by Nick Bailey. The owner of the London Eye is the Merlin Entertainment Group. The 32 capsules, made almost entirely of glass, can hold up to 25 people each. Numbered are the capsules but until 33, because the number 13 has been omitted, which should bring good luck. For a circumnavigation, the bike takes about 30 minutes. By the way, the bike almost never stops: its low speed of rotation allows passengers to get on and off comfortably while they are in operation.

The view from the glass capsules of the Ferris wheel over the center of London is great. However, the London Eye is popular and the crowd is correspondingly high. If you really want to ride with you and want to plan in advance, you can buy your tickets online and save yourself the queues.

Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben)

Highlight • Monument

Big Ben, or to give it its proper name, the Elizabeth Tower, is probably the most famous and iconic clock in the world, along with being the most photographed. It is also one of the most prominent cultural and parliamentary symbols of the United Kingdom. Completed in 1859, during Queen Victoria’s reign, it is 96 metres high. It’s said that its Big Ben nickname was derived from Sir Benjamin Hall, an elected Member of Parliament of the time; he was otherwise known as ‘Big Ben’.

View of the London Eye from Cycle Superhighway CS3

Highlight (Segment) • Monument

In London, there are already six finished and two more to be completed in 2018. These "highways" run from the outskirts to the center of the city and are usually created separately from the car traffic. Definitely, you drive much safer and faster in these ways than without you. My impression, the ways are already quite overloaded. Traffic jam on the bike path? Can you experience here at rush hour? Nevertheless, of course, a good thing. Because without these ways I found cycling in London anything but funny.
