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

The London Eye, on the South Bank of the River Thames, offers breathtaking bird's-eye views of London. Opened in 2000 to mark the new millennium, its glass capsules overlook iconic landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, The Shard, and St Paul's Cathedral.

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.

Highlights

Panoramic Views of London

The London Eye provides spectacular 360-degree panoramic views of the city. From its highest point, visitors can see up to 40 kilometers on a clear day, offering views of iconic landmarks like Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul's Cathedral.

Interactive Capsules

Each capsule is equipped with interactive guides that offer insights into the landmarks visible from the Eye. These guides are available in multiple languages, enhancing the educational aspect of the ride for tourists from around the world.

Interesting engineering

The London Eye's design and construction are unique, featuring a cantilevered observation wheel with an A-frame on one side only. It's a great example of contemporary architectural prowess; intriguing for those interested in engineering and design.

At 8:00 AM, we walked along the Thames from the Harriott Hotel by the London Eye (which we booked this morning through this app) to the Tower, arriving right on time at 8:45 AM. We still had to wait about 45 minutes until entry, but that is normal and wasn't an issue at all in the sunny weather! Following the advice we’d received, we headed straight over to the Crown Jewels exhibition. That collection is truly impressive! The other areas are all interestingly designed as well. The entire castle and all its sections are in very good, well-maintained, and restored condition. You’d never believe that the Tower has several hundred years under its belt! The guards are all very friendly, but also take their duty very seriously! They are happy to let you take photos, but putting an arm around their shoulder—which one female tourist tried to do—was politely declined! The restrooms are also in very good condition. As a German, it's nice to see that some signs also provide information in German! However, exploring some of the areas does require good physical fitness. In the White Tower, you first walk through all 3 floors twice along the length and twice across the width before winding your way back down inside one of the turrets! The minimum 3 hours you should plan to see most areas fly by very quickly! If, like us, you also opt for Tower Bridge admission with a slightly cheaper combo ticket, take the stairs instead of the elevator (which we only noticed once we reached the top), and then walk all the way back to the hotel, you are guaranteed some serious muscle soreness the next day if you're an out-of-shape tourist! The meticulously maintained Engine Rooms of Tower Bridge are also very interesting. The steam engine looks so pristine that you’d think it was just built! Though back when it was still coal-fired, it probably looked a bit dustier! The rich green with contrasting pin-striping painted on all the moving parts shows that true craftsmen who loved their trade were at work here! All in all, a fantastic combo trip that is well worth doing twice in a lifetime! It’s a pity, though, that no guided tours are offered in German, but you rarely find those at British attractions anyway...
