Christmas wheely is coming!

Londoners will be given a chance to view the city from the top of the capital's biggest park this Christmas.

Locals and tourists alike will be able to take in spectacular views from the top of a 180ft observation wheel with a full 360-degree panoramic view above Hyde Park.

The wheel is part of the park's Winter Wonderland, jointly sponsored by London Lite, which also includes Europe's largest outdoor ice rink, funfair rides, a German Christmas market, cafes and bars and carol concerts.

Although half the size of the London Eye, the Winter Wonderland Wheel offers people the chance to view the city from a very different perspective.

Each of its 40 pods holds six people for a 13-minute ride.
