The anytime slot fast track access was brilliant, no queue at all for this line when we went, compared with probably at least a 30 line for general admission, and it certainly wasn't too busy. Just gave us more time to do other things. Day was clear so views are spectacular from the pods.

It was very relaxing and I got some great pictures. It was also easy to move around to get pictures. Since we got the fast track tickets we didn’t wait more than 5 minutes from when we arrived which made it easier to do the Tower of London too.

Overview

The London Eye runs continuously throughout the day on a fixed loading sequence, and standard ticket holders must join a queue that can be an hour or more long during peak times. This skip-the-line admission ticket includes priority access and boarding for a shared capsule ride, with views of the Thames, the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, and central London during the rotation.
  • Save precious vacation time with handy skip-the-line access
  • Experience a panoramic flight on the world's highest observation wheel
  • See Big Ben towering above the Houses of Parliament, St. James Park, and Buckingham Palace
  • Enjoy views from a perspective not all travelers get to access

What To Expect

Make your own way to the Lastminute.com London Eye near the River Thames, and gaze up at the massive wheel. Standing 443 feet (135 meters) high, this London icon opened in 2000 and has hosted more than 3.5 million people a year—a daily average of 10,000.

This popularity means that entrance lines are usually long, with waits of an hour or more frequent in peak season. Save yourself time with this skip-the-line ticket that lets you bypass much of the queue and offers your choice of desired flight time.

When you're ready, check in 15 minutes before your flight. Show your prepaid ticket and enjoy priority boarding to your capsule—an air-conditioned glass pod that easily accommodates up to 25 passengers. During your flight, gaze out over London’s skyline, seeing landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral and Big Ben, with views extending for 25 miles (40 kilometers) in each direction.

Wonderful views

Michael_k, Jun 2026
Fast track ticket was well worth it as got on the ride right away. Scenery is spectacular and the inside cabins are spacious

Great Flight on the London Eye!

Michele_R, Jun 2026
Great time on our flight on the London Eye! Loved having no wait tickets. We had beautiful clear skies and could see for miles!

Worth the extra for flex fast track

Beth_K, Jun 2026
The flex fast track ticket was worth the extra money. We didn’t have a wait at all (less than one minute) AND we got a capsule to ourselves which was completely unexpected and amazing! They didn’t tell us beforehand that the picture towards the end wasn’t working so we stood and posed for a picture for nothing, but otherwise it was fantastic!

Definitely worth going on...

Damon_D, Jun 2026
Definitely worth going on once. The views of London are amazing throughout the ride. Our kids loved it.

Fast pass tickets are a no-brainer!

Erin_S, Jun 2026
After this experience, I would not do the London Eye without fast pass tickets! It was so easy to find the check in for fast pass tickets and we literally walked right on… the regular line was super long and not moving. Definitely worth the money.

It is very worthwhile. ...

Rita_V, Jun 2026
It is very worthwhile. Everyone working there was very kind. It was raining but that did not decrease the enjoyment of experience

London Eye

Gary_F, Jun 2026
Great views of the city and helps you get a visual bearing on where landmarks are located. We did the anytime fast pass which left us with zero wait time…walked right on.

Views up high

Jeanne_B, Jun 2026
Nice view box with seat and not crowded into view box. Easy access, clean and able to see important sites in London

Eye eye

Lawrence_V, Jun 2026
Relatively quick, but quite a view of London Worth doing if not raining as rain makes picture taking tough and what it would be if sun is out

Beautiful views. Worth doing once if you haven’t already. Fun to see London from up above. Good pictures

Dallas_E, Jun 2026
Definitely do the fast pass during busy season. Queue was long and got much longer as we were getting off. We hopped right on.

High View

Susan_F, Jun 2026
Great view of the city. Easy entry and exit. Pods are stable, with lots of room. 360 degree panoramic exposure.

Missed

Robert_B, Jun 2026
We called & talked to a rep that sent us an email that we would get a call bk to reschedule, cuz of issues with other res times we couldn’t make it to our rsv time! We never heard bk & we’re very disappointed! We will b here in London until the 7 June & would still luv to go or at least get a refund. Plz advise… Disappointed, Nancy Hendricks nlh5848@yahoo.com 602-695-0190

Loved the London Eye!

Jean_C, Jun 2026
The London Eye was great! Beautiful views and the rain stopped long enough to enjoy the ride! Would definitely recommend!

My only complaint. Keep...

Jonathan_F, Jun 2026
My only complaint. Keep the glass clean for better pictures. Our pods glass was so dirty. Views were amazing, perfect pace for a beautiful ride.

Worth it.

Shannon_P, May 2026
Purchasing the fast pass was worth the money.The ride is slow, relaxing and does not feel like it is moving. Great way to see the city. Go late evening.

Great experience

Theresa_S, May 2026
The fast pass lived up to its title. Practically walked straight on. It was the hottest day of the year (90s) and delighted to find the car was air conditioned.

Great view of London!

Larry_C, May 2026
Quick and easy access to the attraction.. staff kept lines moving efficiently. The pods were not crowded and there were seats available for alll. Pods were clean and comfortable.

Fantastic! Do it!

Kimberly_S, May 2026
Totally recommend the London Eye experience, especially getting the Fast Track tickets! We hopped right on with maybe a 3-minute wait. It was great being able to pick what time we wanted to visit, also. A perfect event for our first day in London!

Looking over London

We bought fast pass worked well even let us in earlier. Definitely worth it not having to wait in the queue. Great views

Seema_T, May 2026
It was good. We can see London all around. I was scared of the ride before I got on but I was wrong. You don’t feel anything. It is very slow. You just enjoy the beautiful sight.

No aieconditioning, no open wondows

Patricia_W, May 2026
This trip had SO much potential to be the best part of London. However, the airconditioning was broken, could not open windows, food melted, warm water to drink. We were ready to pass out, so several passengers got off with us. HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Please refund entire amount.

The tour was good. The...

maya_i, May 2026
The tour was good. The views were amazing and it was lovely to see London from high above. Having said this, the wait times were long, despite having a fast track ticket.

Interesting but certainly could be missed

AnneMarie_I, May 2026
It was a beautiful day. Our fast track was at 6:30, had an issue with the QR code that had to be scanned but a quick call to Vito and that was all taken care of. We waited nothing but two minutes to board with fast track whereas the line to get on without fast track was over 40 minutes. Well worth it. The disappointment is that you’re on a glass cage to look at beautiful monuments house of Parliament, Buckingham Palace and all but your pictures come out with nothing but raindrops through the windows. In today’s day and age those windows could easily be sprayed each time coming down so that’s clear glass.

Above it all

Cheryl_S, May 2026
Very fast and seamless! The views are great and the ride lasts about 30 minutes. Great photo ops!!! 😊

Absolutely wonderful...

Suzanne_k, May 2026
Absolutely wonderful experience to see view of London. Highly recommend it as a must do during your holiday.

The London Eye

Judy_L, May 2026
Great way to see London from high in the sky! Great view and picture opportunity of Big Ben and other sites.

Fabulous!

jan_m, May 2026
I thought i would be afraid because of the height. I am glad i was brave because the views are fantastic and the wheel turns quite slowly. It was fantastic!

Satisfied customer

robert_w, May 2026
Purchase the fast track, So you don’t have to wait in line. Otherwise, this is a popular place and you will be stuck with an unnecessary waiting.

Great City View

Tim_C, May 2026
Great City View. The staff was attentive to the number of students at the Eye the day we were there and loaded the pods accordingly which was very much appreciated.

The fast pass option is...

Mary_K, May 2026
The fast pass option is definitely worth it. Even with my fear of heights we really enjoyed the ride. The Eye moves slowly and doesn't tilt so it feels very comfortable.
