Default "London's big Eye still turning at 10"

I love the wheel - it's audacious and brilliant - who'd a thunk it'd
ever actually happen, a slice of the funfair ever so nearly opposite
Parliament, and yet it did. The latter is of course a bit of a neo-
Gothic theme park exhibit anyway. And then there's the rather
preposterous Tower Bridge down river too of course, which is great
too.

So, who's going to resurrect the somewhat outlandish idea of a cable
car link between Covent Garden and the South Bank?

(ObTransport - London Eye still refer to a ride as a "flight", a
legacy of the now discontinued BA sponsorship.)


The Eye was only supposed to be there for a couple of years, wasn't it?

Re the cable car, where would you put its base by Covent Garden? Not a
lot of free space there.
