Getting tickets was easy, had choices to pick general admission or fast track. We were on a schedule so I went with fast track and I was able to pick our boarding time. We arrived about 15 minutes early but didn't need to wait for the appointed time, we went right in and was seated with other fast track riders, only 12 in our group so lots of room to get a great view of the area! Fast track tickets are more expensive but we were accommodated perfectly so it was worth the price of admission!

Being able learn while walking up the stairs. Seeing my kids get excited with their workbooks and following along. Simple and easy facts to learn (I hate reading paragraphs). Walking above the bridge with the glass floor. Having little windows to take nice pictures. The mirrors above were neat also. The engine room was great at demonstrating how the bridge used to operate. My son had some questions and the lady working there was able to help. Would definitely recommend to others. Thank you!

The cue was so quick and staff very friendly and helpful. The actual wheel is amazing to see and its a great 30 minutes to spend in the centre of London seeing all the city has from a fantastic pod with 360 viewing, pods arms over crowed allowing every one space to look around and take pictures, 10/10 overall as a tourist experience.

    The ease of all mostly. I had no trouble buying tickets, nor did I had getting to the London Eye on time, to wait in line probably 10 minutes or so.

    Great views and air conditioning was a major bonus on the hot day we visited. Loved the 360 viewing, room to move comfortably around the pod, and plenty of seating space as well.
