This cable car is not only an amusing mode of transportation, it also offers 360-degree views of the entire city. Enjoy the ride as you coast through the city skyline above the River Thames and take in the sights of London from an unexpected point of view.

The image was taken on the Emirates Air Line with a view of the River Thames, The O2 and city skyline. As you cross over the river on the cable car, you'll be able to see this view, with The O2 directly in front of you.
You can board the Emirates Air Line from either the North Greenwich or Royal Victoria side of the river. I recommend starting at North Greenwich (via Jubilee Line) and then buying a return ticket so you can go to Royal Victoria and back.
