London Eye & Westminster
Unbeatable views of the Big Ben, Parliament, and the giant observation wheel just before landing.

Massive offshore renewable energy installations visible during the short sea crossing.
Olympic Park
The distinctive architecture of the 2012 Olympic venues in Stratford, East London.
Hampstead Heath
The sprawling greenery of North London's highest points and ancient parklands.
Wembley Stadium
The iconic illuminated arch of England's national stadium is often clearly visible on the right side.
Choose an 'F' or 'K' seat. This side is excellent for seeing the North London suburbs and major sporting landmarks. If the wind is from the East (Easterly operations), this side might actually get the better view of the city during departure patterns, though this is less common.
