Pro tips to help you make a pick

Book ahead for skip-the-line access: Avoid long queues and save time by booking your London Eye tickets in advance. Skip-the-line tickets ensure a smooth entry, allowing you to maximize your time enjoying the stunning views. If you have kids, this is even more worth it!

If you love photography, schedule your session just before sunset, during the magical golden hour, and you'll have an amazing time! In spring (March and April) the sunset is between 7:15pm and 8:20pm, in the summer months of May, June, July it's 8:30pm to 9.30pm, from September to November, sunset is between 4:30pm - 7pm and from December to February between 3:50pm and 5pm.

Keep an eye out for special events or promotions at the London Eye. From seasonal displays to themed experiences, there may be unique opportunities to enhance your visit and make it even more memorable. Oh, it is also the ideal place to pop the question to your better half!

About London Eye

Did you know?

The London Eye is the largest cantilevered observation wheel in the world, with a diameter of 394 feet. It is however no longer the largest ferris wheel in the world. That is now Ain Dubai.

Designed by husband-and-wife duo of Julia Barfield and David Marks, it was originally planned to be temporary, but its popularity led to its permanent installation.

Each of the London Eye's 32 passenger capsules represents one of the boroughs of London. They are also climate-controlled, so no matter what the weather is like outside (even if it is a typical cold and rainy London day), you'll be cozy inside.

The London Eye has been featured in numerous movies, including Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.

Why visit London Eye?

A different perspective

The view from the top of the London Eye means you get a unique perspective on the city's architecture and appreciate the intricate details of its buildings - some old and regal, others modern and sleek. You can even spot London's iconic landmarks, including Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and the River Thames.

Stunning sunsets

If you time your ride perfectly, then the change of the skyline from day to dusk to nightfall is stunning. The skies go from bright blue, light pink, flaming orange and then black in about 45 minutes. So hop on with 30 minutes to sunset left to see this magical sunset.

Thrilling 4D Experience

While at the London Eye you can enjoy a 4D cinema experience that showcases the history and evolution of London, using state-of-the-art technology to bring the city's rich heritage to life. Unfortunately, this is out of commission for a brief period.

Sky Garden wasn't great. We could have skipped it because the London Eye is better for taking photos from above. It's redundant. Better to just go to the London Eye alone.

We went to see westlife at the 02 arena, the cable car allowed us to see the arena from the other side and see how large it actually is, we were able to watch the climbers at the top of the arena too. We then saw a food festival that was happening on the other side and someone was water boarding too. It just made our whole day magical. I will definitely be back again soon as we would love to show my children and grandchild the other side of London. Many thanks for making our day special

It was our first visit to the London Eye and we really enjoyed it. The weather was perfect for getting amazing views of London. The one day unlimited boat trim on the Thames was the icing on the cake for us. What better way could there be to see so much of London. The boat was comfortable with cafe and toilets. A special shout to the captain that provided a great commentry, both informative and amusing. Great
