Between 3am and 4am (usually, weather conditions permitting), the London Eye is put in to a self-cleaning sequence and rotates at around 6RPM. That doesn't sound like a lot, except that's one revolution every 10 seconds! It gets all the rain, dust, filth etc off, all the mud and so on ends up in the thames.

They don't permit you to ride it in this time, except slipping the cleaners (who aren't the normal ride operators) £20 will get you on one of the pods.

It's a hell of a rush although tbh only a matter of time until somebody gets hurt then they stop this.

The London Eye has a diameter of 120 metres. It makes one revolution each 10 seconds, ish.

So, the velocity in one of the pods is close enough 37 metres for each second.

THAT'S approximately 80 MILES PER HOUR. FUCK.

Under the Breakfast Club

Went there a short time ago and the 'bouncer' who sits next to the entrance told us it was full :-(

It doubtless is. Got featured in Time Out's covert london so no longer secret/ thus I have reposted it here. :)

The government will now either stop the personnel for doing this or skip to step 3 and profit.

/u/cr3ative's additional suggestions in this thread I guess are a little fantastical.

session in my front room, playing Dark Souls for 13 hours at once while eating a whole package of Screwballs out of the freezer.

Dark souls is awesome. What platform do you play on?

PS3. Trying to do an SL1 run and spent most of yesterday trying to kill the Four Kings.

Eesh. Good luck with that.
