Monday was a busy day. We started off buying tickets for a ride on the London Eye, which is the big ferris wheel on the Thames River. Now I know it's technically a ferris wheel, but the London Eye is so much more than what you find at the local county fair. A complete revolution takes about 30 minutes or so, and the pods are on the outside, so you get an unobstructed view of the city below. The pods are also very large, and probably hold about 20 people comfortably. Overall the experience was really worth it. It was pretty cool.
After the London Eye we took a short cab ride over to Westminster Abbey and took a walk through the cathedral. No pictures were allowed inside, so sorry I don't have any photos to share. But I'll tell you the church is amazing to see inside. I would describe it as being similar to Notre Dame inside, with the major difference being the walls and floors are lined with graves, memorials, and crypts honoring Britain's elite over the century. Everyone from kings to poets are immortalized here. It was definitely worth the admission.
From there we took the subway, then a train, and then a bus to the outskirts of the city to the Warner Brothers studios. That's where the Harry Potter studios are. This is where all the Harry Potter films were made. Nowadays it's a tourist attraction filled with sets and props from all 8 movies. It was pretty cool. The kids had a lot of fun.
