Time Out is partnering with the London Eye for a special in-pod experience this summer

Picture this: you’re on one of London’s most iconic attractions, with sweeping, 360-degree views of the city, taking in everything from Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament to the Shard and Tower Bridge. As you gawp, wide-eyed, at the flowing water of the Thames below, the voices of some of the capital’s finest cultural experts are peppering the journey with top tips on where to head for food, drinks and everything in between.

Now, we don’t want to come off as big-headed when we say this, but we at Time Out London like to think that we know this city pretty damn well. After all, it’s our job to sniff out the top foodie spots and drinking dens, the inspiring art galleries and toe-tapping theatre shows that the Big Smoke has to offer – and to share all that knowledge with you.

We’re also big fans of doing things differently, which is why we’ve teamed up with the London Eye for a game-changing summer partnership. Time Out’s local editors have curated an audio guide which will play throughout each of the pod’s speakers, offering insights into London’s best restaurants, cultural attractions, neighbourhoods, hidden gems, events and unforgettable experiences.

As well as inside the pods, you’ll be able to spot bespoke Time Out branding across digital screens and prominent locations around the South Bank. The experience is running from July 29 to September 30.

Gareth Thomas, director of strategic partnerships at Time Out Media, said of the new collaboration: ‘At Time Out, we believe the best recommendations are the ones that inspire people to get out and experience a city for themselves. That’s why this partnership is so exciting. By bringing our editorial expertise into one of London’s most iconic attractions, we’re helping visitors discover the capital in a completely new way this summer.’
