So Hairy Henry and Ben the Clock Monster went to visit London. First, they took a big, red double-decker bus along the road next to the river.

"Look!" said Hairy Henry, "what's that?"
"That is where we are going," said Big Ben. "Come on!"

It was a huge, round wheel in the sky. It went round and round. People could ride on the wheel and from the top they could see all of London.

Hairy Henry and Ben went to the top of the wheel.
"Wheee..." shouted Hairy Henry. "I can see the river, and the Palace.. and the people look like ants! This is great!"
