1) A wheel that spins high in the sky so blue,
At 135 meters, there's a view just for you.
Each capsule offers sights of the city so bright,
What am I, the attraction that lights up the night?

2) A high building with views that stretch far,
From restaurants and bars to where the tourists are.
Up on the top, you’ll see London so wide,
What am I, with a view that's a lovely ride?

3) In Marylebone Road, where selfies reign,
Life-size figures are what you’ll gain.
Stars from many worlds, all in one place,
Come take a picture, it’s sure to be ace!
What am I?

4) I was built by a famous architect,
With 560 steps, a climb that’s perfect.
A church that stands where a fire had burned,
What stunning views of London have you earned?
What am I?

5) I’m the home of the Queen, with gardens and dreams,
Six hundred rooms to explore, bursting at the seams.
I open in summer, when the Queen goes away,
Can you guess my name, come visit one day?
