Well, I wouldn't judge by whatever queues you encountered. It's not well patronised outside school holiday time - 'white elephant' might be the appropriate descriptive. The idea it serves some crucial public transport need is of course absurd - though it does at least provide an affordable and fun attraction for Londoners and visitors. Indeed has to wonder what London is becoming with the "Eye" and the overhead cable (Cable Car makes one think of the San Francisco System). |
