The crowd ruins the experience. They left every other cubicle empty and they squeezed us in with 25 other people. It was literally ruined the experience as not everyone had space near the window. Way too expensive for a medium experience.

We visited around 4.30pm. The views from the pod are amazing, it takes around 30 minutes and personally found it a little underwhelming. There were around 22/23 people in our pod, which made it difficult to get images. People kind of settled in a spot and didn't move. It was a good experience, unlikely to do it again.

i went with my grandmother who has lived in london for over ten years and we had an amazing time going on the london eye. if you aren't a fan of heights i wouldn't recommend. it takes around 45 minutes for it to go round once. the pods are very big and you can book one out for yourself but if you don't then you will share the pod with other people. if you have a wheelchair, the staff are more than happy to assist. one thing that i didn't like was this one staff lady who pushed me in the pod and almost trapped my foot in the door! apart from that it was a lovely experience and i would go again.

Treated my 6 year old to a weekend in London for her birthday. She couldn't wait to get on the London eye. Ended up being a tad disappointed because the capsule we were in was full of adults who hogged the one end (the main view over London) I get that everyone wants to see the view but there's plenty of time for the wheel to spin around for everyone to get a good view and move around. Unfortunately we were unlucky that day and those who were on with us wouldn't let the children onboard get to the main part... Even despite asking politely. So we ended up spending most of our time watching some 20 year old and her boyfriend create their romantic tiktoc or Instagram content. Anyway Would i still recommend it if visiting London... yes absolutely. Hope when we're back in December with the rest of the family, that we can get a better look.

The London Eye offers a breathtaking view of the city and is definitely worth a visit. The ride is smooth and comfortable, and the staff is friendly and helpful. However, the lines can be long and the tickets are a bit pricey. Overall, it's a great experience for tourists and locals alike.

If you want to see the sheer mass of London, then this ride is a must. The line went fast.. Was able to get a ticked just a few yards from the Eye. Carry your binoculars! There is alot to see, but far off!.

Went on the eye as part of a multi ticket for a family four. It's very expensive without a deal. We had the first ride of the day at 10am. We got in the queue 9.40am and was on the ride at 10.05am. This was Saturday 8th April. As the queues were not massively busy they didn't over fill the pod with people and we had plenty of room to move around all of the pod to see views from every angle. The weather was beautiful which helps, we had clear sky's and sunshine so got to see wonderful views of london. The pod did get quite hot as the sun was shining. It moves slowly and our ride lasted around 25 minutes. It was a great experience.

a nice view of the city with a good amount of time on the ride. iconic, and generic. for all the hype, its.....a ferris wheel. and a very pricey one at that, with long lines. not to mention, there are some strangers you dont want to be locked in a box with for half an hour

If you are doing this you should go here on your first day and as early as possible as the lines get really long. I'd say the London eye is overrated, but that is because I had already taken photos of the landmarks while on ground. It is a great place to take photos but after a while the photos start to look repetitive. If you are tired it is a good thing to do as there is a bench in the pod where you can sit for 30 minutes. I would recommend going here, however I personally don't feel the need to go back.

Very smooth operation. Can't really see the whole city, it's basically hovering over Big Ben and Parliament. You can see some other things like the Shard. But it moves really really slow, about 30 minutes to get all the way around. Lots of time to take photos. However, be aware if you are with a group, there is an AUTO PHOTO shortly before you come in for a landing. It's on the left side of the car, if you want to get all your folks together and be ready for this photo. I had a large family in my pod and they were not aware of this and were upset they did not get a group photo on the pod. BILL S, Savannah, GA, USA
