More information on London Balloon

Gain a unique perspective of the London horizon... float up to 400 feet in a giant helium balloon. Don't climb up hundreds of steps to view the City's rooftops. Instead, gracefully ascend to a fabulous height with absolutely no personal effort. Big Bob is the world's largest tethered helium balloon. Equipped with halogen lamps, it is even possible to enjoy a night flight for a rather unique night on, or rather above, the tiles. The views gained from this height are superb - Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, Canary Wharf Tower and St. Paul's. The helium 'elevator', exposed to the elements, actually beats a balloon ride, because they are restricted from flying over the city. Credit card payments are accepted. Enquire about balloon rides. Flight vouchers are available - their 'champagne flights' are a wonderful present for only £115. Rides start at ten in the morning.
