The London Eye
Somebody wants to have his snout firmly in the pig trough known as London, it seems that the Southbank Centre wants to hike up the rent from around 60k to 2m a year.
Although I think that the London Eye is a bit of an eyesore, it is the nearest London has to the Eifell Tower. It may lack the elegance and the design principles of the Eifell Tower, but it carries out the same function, giving people a decent view of London. This is under threat by the proposed hike in rent.
I can't help thinking that greed is the only motivation behind it. The South Bank Centre clearly wants a large piece of the business action.
