We went on this as soon as we arrived in London. Did the 4D experience thing first which was a decent demo of 3d technology- but was over very quickly. For the ride itself we were lucky enough just to be able to walk right on without a wait. Found the staff checking the bags excellent, real chatty London characters.... more

Gives great view of city...not for those w/ fear of heights...cool attraction! Pay the extra fee for the "speedy" line & your wait will be 15 minutes instead of 2 hours. more

this is a giant multi-pod ferris wheel that is completely enclosed and goes once around. don't do it if it rains--pix will not come out nicely. For $15-20 per person--not worth it. We got no better views than when we did the less expensive, more entertaining river Thames cruise. more

Great Attraction providing a stunning prospective of a fabulous city. Do go on the London Eye and don't forget to see the 4-D experience film-an incredible introduction to the attraction. What is NOT attractive is the Attitude of the ticket sellers in the booth outside the attraction! On Thursday November 12th we found one of the ticket sellers to be... more

I have been on the London Eye before and took both of my children this time however I would strongly recommend that you do not try to go on the London Eye during school half term. We queued for over an hour before getting on. There did not seem to be any advantage in booking online in advance - you... more

We went on the London Eye on Monday the 26th of October, the first day of the half term school holidays, around 10:30am. I had booked the tickets via the intertubes a couple of days before. On arrival the queues were maybe 100yds long and looked daunting but they moved very swiftly and it was probably only 10 minutes before... more

The London Eye is good if you want a few good travel pictures of you on the eye, but the price is way too high for me to recommend it. Right near the end of the ride they take a picture of each whole side of the capsule which you can buy at the end for another 10 GBP, but... more

Fun!

Riding the London Eye is a bit touristy, but it is FUN! The view is great depending of weather of course and the line is long. Be prepared to submit to an light "airport security screening". more
