Whichever you choose, tickets are always cheaper online.

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?

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.

So worth it!!

Exploring London with the Big Bus Hop-On Hop-Off tour was one of the highlights of our trip. It was such a convenient and relaxing way to see the city’s most famous landmarks without worrying about transportation or directions.
