Not with such a limited time in London. I think it's different if you live in London and you are familiar with how to get places and how long it will take, as opposed to if you are a visitor and after a long day of touring you just want to go to your hotel without having the "daunting" task of trying to get back to GG.

I hear

The only minyan in town IINM is the Western Marble Arch Synagogue.
Really want to spend the money on the eye? I don't get it - London's skyline isn't so exciting...

Thanx
My wife went to London once before when she was single and cheaped out by not doing the London Eye. She wants to do it this time.

Doing the London Eye isn't for the view. It's a thing. I'm from London and I've never done it. Americans that come for a day do it.

Just like people who live in NY and never went to the Statue of Liberty. Maybe try doing it once..

Which is why it's a waste of money. I didn't do it on my trip bc of that. #touristtrap

IME Hours on line for a glorified ferris wheel. Go see it, take pics near it but dont waste your time on line waiting to get on it. Its exactly like those long lines to get to the statue of liberty. I havent been to the statue in 30+ years and have no desire to see it other than from afar.

Are you implying that there are minyanim at חצות in other cities? I've never heard of such a thing, having a minyan so far after זמן תפילה.

I understand.
According to Google Maps its 1:20 by public transportation. And 77-100 GBP for Uber.
Is it advisable to book a train ticket in advance? Would I only be allowed to use it for the time selected?
