The Paddington Bear Experience was absolutely magical from start to finish. I was super impressed. I came with my son who is a big Paddington Bear fan. It was exciting, the actors/characters were amazing and the different sets and rooms created the most beautiful atmosphere and story. I almost shed a tear at the end when animated Paddington Bear spoke about kindness and my son meeting and having his photo with Paddington Bear was a dream come true for him. Thank you, highly recommended. I loved the party room street scene at the end where treats could be purchased. I'm a harsh critic but couldn't fault this at all! 10/10!

It was very fun! Me and my boyfriend celebratated our second year anniversary there as we met in a shrek theatre performance it was so worth it! Genuinely such a memorable experience for both kids and adults. We got choosen for a few interactive experiences which made it so funny. We were laughing the whole time! (Especially when my boyfriend was told to look for gold in shreks toilet)😂 The staff was incredible and so talented and the sets felt like you were in the legit fairytale. We left saying we were coming back next year!!

The London eye had amazing sights and not a long wait. If you have time to do this experience it's a must see on your list for London. As for the Thames cruise we ran out of time and couldn't use it so only get it if you know you will have time to use the combo pass to both attractions I tried to get a different time but policy is strict. The customer service was nice nonetheless when I asked them.

    The problem was the cruise on the Thames—nowhere did it say that it would drop us off in another part of the city—it left us at London Bridge and there we had to figure out how to get back to Big Ben where we had boarded, and then go up the London Eye. If it was a combo, why didn't it specify this?!

    I love that the times are flexible! The River Thames Cruise had an "unofficial tour guide" who was so funny and entertaining. It was a great way to see the city
