Do you recognise this place?
Clues....
It's in London.
It's on the south bank of the River Thames.
You can see London from above.
It's .....
the London Eye!

Ane who is the woman on the top of the London Eye?


Amelia Hempleman-Adams took the torch on a trip on the giant observation wheel on the south side of the River Thames on Sunday, riding atop one of the Eye's viewing capsules as it slowing rotated.
The 17-year-old Hempleman-Adams was the youngest person to ski to the South Pole last year.
