I am a big believer in spending the extra money to skip the line. This was especially the case with the London Eye. Why wait the 90+ minutes when you could be drinking? Wandering the streets for the next pint? Anyways, for our honeymoon my parents treated my husband and I to a London Eye experience with Champagne. They had participated in the iconic London experience and tasted POP Champagne for the first time in 2010. 

My husband and I saved the London Eye for sunset knowing it was entirely possible we would be rained out. What we got was a compromise with cloud and a bit of golden light turning the Parliament buildings the same gilded colour as what was in our glass. 

We saved the London Eye experience for our final evening in London before we moved on to Edinburgh, Scotland. There’s nothing better than sipping Champagne while gazing at a skyline as amazing as London’s!
