The London Eye was a fun experience. Our tickets were an easy purchase right before queuing up. We got lucky, the line moved fast, maybe 20 minutes. The views are spectacular, seeing London in this way is cool. I’m not including an image because it’s fun to see everything firsthand and have that experience as I did. Enjoy!

It is essential to book ahead of time and visitor made this so easy. Don’t let the long line scare you - this experience is managed so well and the line moves quickly. Our “car” was not overcrowded and we had a fun visit. You might want to get in line a little early.

The London Eye was well worth it

John_S, Jun 2026
Great experience on the Summer Solstice in London at 20:00. We had 8:00 pm tickets and got there. The line appeared long but got on at the exact time. You may want to go early, they really did not check your scheduled time, although was required when booking. We got a beautiful clear day and the views were spectacular. We we a group of 5 people with some other guests. The glass enclosure was comfortable with seating and standing room available. It was not crowed and took 25 minutes for around trip. Worth your time and money

Great experience!

Rosa_C, Jun 2026
We pre-booked out tickets and when we got there the line was easy and fast to get through. The views from the top are fantastic.

Very efficient , friendly...

Linda_S, Jun 2026
Very efficient , friendly staff, well organized as described in advertisements. Would do it again for sure.

Reserve your tickets in...

Victoria_R, Jun 2026
Reserve your tickets in advance and arrive 15 minutes early. If you have never done it, do it. We were there on a very clear day in the late afternoon in early June and the views were terrific! Not sure how would it would be on rainy day.

Is not worthy. You can buy the tickets and go on the ride by yourself and have a good experience. You don’t need to pay

AURA_D, Jun 2026
We got there on time they took all of us together. We were about 16 people including 3 children. It was complicated to take pictures when you are all the way to the top because everyone wants the same view on the pictures. This experience would’ve be better with less people

London Eye

Deborah_M, Jun 2026
Had a great time on the London Eye. We got there early and staff was very accommodating in changing the time of our ticket

Such a calm view of the city...very different experience than walking the city

Elissa_O, Jun 2026
That its a beautiful view...very different than being on the ground...also...so quiet...so smoothly run

Not spectacular

Sjoerd_B, Jun 2026
That it's OK, but hardly spectacular. I think it's better to do the Tower Bridge, then the London Eye

London Eye

Anne_J, Jun 2026
Great experience, arrive early for the line up, very helpful getting on and off the eye, it is air conditioned

London eye pre-purchase ticket

Maria_C, Jun 2026
So easy to have your ticket when you arrive. One less line to wait on. From start to finish it was one hour. So worth it.

Fun experience!

Emily_K, Jun 2026
The kids really wanted to go on the London Eye so we made it happen with this last minute booking. Easy to purchase the ticket the evening before, and at 10:15am on a Wednesday in early June we walked right on — no line! Relatively short walk from the tube station.

You don't get to choose...

janet_r, Jun 2026
You don't get to choose the car you enter. We got stuck in car with big family and lots of little kids. Quite noisey

Great opportunity to see...

Matthew_M, Jun 2026
Great opportunity to see a lot of the sites around the London eye. Definitely worth booking! It takes a nice leisurely pace which gives you the opportunity to see a lot and take photos.

The London Eye

Cheryl_D, May 2026
We enjoyed the views of London! I booked an 8 pm time slot thinking it would be dark…my bad, sundown is after 9 pm in May.

Great views of London....

Edward_D, May 2026
Great views of London. Trip on the eye is smooth and slow. We did t even realize it stopped a few times unless we looked at the frame of the wheel. We booked our time for 7:00 PM on Sunday. There was no wait to get on.

London Eye on a clear day.

Enjoyable way to see London. Prob a little overpriced.

Edwin_D, May 2026
This was our first activity in London. Our boarding time was 4p. The line at that time was super short, so that was great. In our pod, there were a number of kids who opted to lay down on the floor and hog the left half of the pod, so we really could access one side of the pod. Pretty rude. But we got some great views of London. Round trip was about 35 mins. It stopped a couple times. I would do this again, but it's overpriced. It's a very touristy area.

Everything went to plan !...

Mariam_N, May 2026
Everything went to plan ! The ticket scanned easily, lines went smoothly and we were able to do what we needed to in time. Nothing exceptional but everything expected.

Purchase the expedited...

Timothy_P, May 2026
Purchase the expedited entry. It is so worth it to not wait in line. Our experience was great. Sunny day. Great views.

it was a great...

Noel_p, May 2026
it was a great experience. allowed to get a good view of london from above to see the Westminster abby and parliment on the river. I had previously gone to the Shard for tea and also had a similar view so that is why i didn't rate this higher. if i had to chose an excursion, i would recommmend the tea at the Shard versus this eye tour.

Great Views of London

Lisa_C, May 2026
Great views of London and extremely friendly staff. Nice and smooth ride. Be sure to add it to your list of attractions to visit while in London.

London Eye Fastrack

Pegi_B, May 2026
London Eye fastrack was helpful - no line or waiting. I would highly recommend this ticket as there was a long queue to get on.

This was the best...

Jennifer_M, May 2026
This was the best experience. We were able to enjoy some time in the lounge prior to going up in the eye. Enjoying champagne while viewing all of London is truly the best experience. Highly recommend.

Save your cash.

David_B, May 2026
Nothing against the London eye but I gotta be honest. I don’t think it was worth like US$75. You don’t really get great pick opportunities. Based on my experience, I would not do this again. If you have no concern about your budget and have 30 minutes or so that you just wanna relax then this would be a good option for you.

The evening rides seem to...

Michele_K, May 2026
The evening rides seem to be less busy. There is a restroom in the ticket office. I am not a heights person, but there is a bench in the middle that makes it enjoyable even for me. There was a rainbow that was beautiful, but that isn’t part of every package.

What a relaxing way to...

Kami_F, May 2026
What a relaxing way to see the city. Perfect after running here and there. I could relax for 30 minutes and see the sites!

Must do during London visit

suzanne_f, May 2026
Great experience! Good for all ages. Great way to make memories for all travelers. Don’t miss this one

Fun times on the London Eye

Wendy_R, May 2026
Very fun experience! We boarded the London Eye at sunset and had a wonderful ride. What amazing views!

Champagne ride also meant smaller group on the ride

mjbass55, May 2026
Not clear where to go when you arrive. VIP lounge looked anything but. Staff were friendly. Nice small group of 6 on the day.

8.5 hour layover

Erin_Y, May 2026
We had an 8.5 hour layover on n London. We had to switch airports also: Heathrow to Gatwick. We did a bus tour and the Eye. Glad I paid for the flex and fast pass. We got in line right away. Passed everyone in line and that was what we needed to do to catch or flight.
