London Eye - Suitcase

Danger Phoenix · 27 Jul 2006 at 22:05

I am meeting a friend, who is visiting me, at the London Eye before coming to Kingston... and I am wondering where we can put her travel back before going on the Eye. Its one of those trolley hand luggage bags... I'm assuming they won't let us take it on the Eye because of security reasons...

Firstly, I'm in London too tommorow (but before you'll get there (doh!))

Secondly, you planning on telling her you love her on the London eye - ahhhhhh

Thirdly, it says on the London eye site

Can I take large bags or luggage on to the London Eye?
Large bags are not permitted on to the London Eye. For a better understanding of our safety and security policy click here. Please note that no suitcases, backpacks or heavy bags will be accepted onto the London Eye.

Fourthly, if you had bothered to ask I probably would have been able to arrange a room at Thomies where you could have put it, but did you bother to ask? Nooooooooooooooooo

Fifthly, you wuv her, ahhhhhhhh

Sixthly, the only place I can think where you could put the bag would be lockers at Waterloo - I've never seen any, but surely they must have some.

EDIT:

don't they have lockers at the london eye? there must be (roughly) a billion people with the same problem every week.

Unlikely as that would be too convenient… :rolleyes:

yeah because if terrorists wanted to blow something up, not having lockers would foil them. :rolleyes:

Not 2 months ago, I went on the London Eye with a trolley suitcase, and a laptop bag. And the person I took with me also had similar baggage.

They searched everything pretty thouroughly, but it wasn't a problem.

I think my friend would be very embarrassed with people going through her clothes etc, but I would find it very funny watching her

I do now (it's not who I thought), and thus officially classify her visit as A BAD THING. Ten1a thinks you're being an idiot too if that helps.

you're right - I thought it was Sharon and it's not - I shouldn't be encouraging any sort of meeting between you and that walrus. If you must meet her, at least learn from her parents' mistakes - use birth control.

I bet they will go through it all, remember things that are worth keeping, and then steal it all when you are on the Eye. They are covered by their "The London Eye Staff are not responsible for any belongings left with us"
