I've not yet been on it -- do you know if the cars are
air-conditioned?



They are. The doors don't fit properly at the sides. Not good if you
already suffer from vertigo, though the trip itself is more like
looking out of a plane that climbing a tall building

Save yourself the extorniate fare - just follow someone through the big gates
when they open them. No one checks tickets or watches the barriers.

I've been on plenty of Swiss gondelbahn, and generally they aren't
air-conditioned, but do have opening windows so you get a nice breeze
and may be able to take distortion-free pictures, depending on how
wide the windows open. But getting stuck in a little capsule over the
Thames on a hot day may be a bit unpleasant.
