I didn't actually take a ride on the Ferris wheel. I figured standing in one spot for over 30 minutes to see the city might kill my feet, being I had a lot of tourist walking being it was the day I planned to see a bunch of tourist London stuff. BUT... when I actually got there to see it, I got to take a peek in. There is a big oval platform in the form of a bench on the inside of each little bubble. So, next time I will definitely check it out.
