London, and what to skip.

London Eye isn't about the wheel. It's a guide to the whole city: 144 places and subjects, written by somebody who would rather tell you what to skip.

Every entry is a short piece of writing with a view: where to stand at the Changing of the Guard and when to give up on it, which three rooms of the British Museum are worth your afternoon. Opening times and ticket pages are linked where they matter, so you can book from the paragraph that convinced you.

Fifteen sections take in Royal London, the Thames, museums, markets, parks, food and drink, the villages, history, sport, writers, stage and sound, views, hidden London and ceremony.

Rhyming slang

Ninety-six Cockney phrases, searchable both ways, and every one said aloud in Cockney. There is a switch for the rude ones. It is off until you move it.

Near Me

Everything with a map pin, nearest first. Away from London, it offers what is worth seeing where you are instead.

Spin the Eye

Fifteen sections is a lot of choosing. Let the wheel do it.

Been There

Tick off what you have actually seen. It stays on your phone.
