We bought Fast Track passes but didn't need them at 7:30 Monday evening. Were able to get our own "bubble" for just 6 of us, so it was worth it. Very steady ride. Not at all freightening - even for those with height issues. Fantastic views of everything. Helpful to bring London map to identify landmarks. Group photos taken as... More

We booked our tickets on line and the Eye is run by EDF Energy now not British Airways , and we took the 10.00am start and as we went up 5 or 6 pods up the whole thing stopped and no one told us anything and we sat there for 10, 15 mintues and then went back the way we... More

On a sunday afternoon faced with very long queues, we decided to take the Pommery Champagne tour. For an extra GBP9, the champagne tours go on the hour. You get to jump ahead of the queues and ride your dedicated car. During the tour you are served French champagne.... well worth the additional cost. More

The London Eye was very disappointing and is definitely a tourist trap! Luckily going on a Tuesday evening at 7:00pm in May was not busy so the queue was not very long and the wait was minimal. We didn't purchase tickets online so it was a bonus of just walking up and purchasing the tickets since the "fast track" option... More

The London eye was a good experience. A little pricy but the 4D experience you get before it is fun! capsule felt a little crowded but we still managed to enjoy it. Staff friendly and helpful! :-) More

The eye experience was excellent. Combined with a river cruise great weather and no long line I can't fault it. The views on a clear day are fascinating. More

It is a do not miss attraction if you visit London and even though it may be a bit pricey, it is still worth doing. We paid the extra and were soon at the front of the long queue which we thought was worth the extra £8 each. It takes about 30 mins to get around, which is a good... More
