London Eye Tours and Tickets

Q: Can you go on the London Eye without booking?

While you can buy same-day tickets for the London Eye, popular time slots often sell out. Book in advance to avoid long wait times and secure entry. Book more than 24 hours in advance for a minimum 10 percent discount.

Q: What is the best time to go on the London Eye?

For the best views from the London Eye, ride the wheel at sunset or after dark—note you can only do this from June through August. Visit early or late on weekdays to avoid crowds and get the lowest rates.

Q: How long is the London Eye ride?

A ride on the London Eye lasts 30 minutes, which is how long it takes to complete one full rotation. Note that the time on your ticket is the time that you’ll enter the queue for your ride, so you’ll likely be at the wheel for up to 75 minutes.

Q: Do you have to queue for the London Eye?

London Eye admission tickets are for specific time slots indicating when to enter the queue rather than start your ride on the wheel. Expect lines to take about 45 minutes with a standard admission ticket or about 20 minutes with a fast-track pass.

Q: Can you take food and drink on the London Eye?

No, you can’t take your own food and drink on the London Eye. However, you can take in bottled water. Staff can also make exceptions for food or drink needed for medical conditions or infants. Just be sure to inform the security team in advance. Hot food and alcohol are never exceptions.

The fast track saved an incredible amount of time and allowed us to enjoy the experience more. The view is amazing from the London Eye. Highly recommend it.

The London Eye Entry Ticket

Christine_D, Apr 2026

Easy to purchase tickets....

Easy to purchase tickets. Very well organized once we arrived. Only thing that was a negative was the fake flowers drapped all over the inside of the London Eye cabin. While it was pretty and I understand it was for Spring season and Easter…it was a bit much.

I loved riding the London Eye. The views are spectacular. I highly recommend buying tickets in advance because you enter a fast track. We had no wait time.

Dianne_H, Dec 2025

Like Mary Poppins, practically perfect in every way!

This was an excellent experience! The pick up location was easy to find. The staff on the ground were very helpful. The bus was clean. The guide wiped off the seats as we boarded as it was drizzling. The guide, Mark, was knowledgeable and entertaining. We might have seen some of the sights on foot but not all of the. I have no hesitation recommending this experience. It was a great way to spend our first night in London.
