London in your lunch break: London Eye

London in your lunch break: London Eye
Take your lunch break at...

The London Eye at the South Bank. Hardly an unheard of destination, but this popular viewing point over London has recently launched an interactive guide to about 50 of the many attractions visible from its heights.

Six tablts in each pod offer instant context to the sights below. With screens designed to reflect the view before you, changing with the wheel’s position (that's the theory, at least – it didn't always work in practice, I found), you can find out trivia just by pressing the touch screen in front of you.

Not only did I find out that Battersea Power Station is Europe’s largest brick building, I discovered that it was designed by the same architect behind the classic red phone boxes – and there are many more titbits of information like this.
