I'd recommend the London Eye, a great view of London and Big Ben in particular. No waiting, no need to buy a faster ticket. We arrived early and had no trouble getting on without having to wait for our timetable. As for the cruise, I'm a little disappointed. We got on at the London Eye, and the boat was already full. We sat where there was room, so we were separated. No commentary in French with audioguide as advertised. The QR code in the boat is only for ordering food and drinks. On the other hand, the view of Tower Bridge from the Thames is very beautiful. Worth it for that alone.

I found Westminster Abbey incredible. All four of us were moved by the entire experience. You felt like you were walking through history and a beautiful cemetery as there are so many people laid to rest there The Paul's Cathedral was very beautiful but I found it was more about celebrating the lives of the people who helped build the Commonwealth . Best to have some fitness to climb the stairs to the top of the cathedral as well

I highly recommend taking the fast line because it makes a considerable difference in time saved, I took it and in less than 10 minutes I was already inside, I also recommend going at 11am which is when the attraction starts operations. They have order in the lines, it is organized and certainly buy your photo packages adding the digital version, they give you many versions of backgrounds and videos, excellent experience.

    1. we waited in vain for the confirmation for the River Cruise...should have come 30min after signing the contract. 2. the river tour did not end at the starting point...so we had problems to reach the following attraction, the Eye, in time. The tour description was wrong. 3. the river boat was unkempt and uncomfortable (metal mesh seats). The announcer was hard to understand.

    Seeing Newton and Hawking's grave, the coronation chair and a lot of historical graves made my day! Headout made it a really seamless experience. Audio guide and the guide notes present near each of the exhibit was sufficient to enjoy the abbey. I also purchased a lot of cool, affordable, high quality souvenirs in the abbey store.

    Quick transmission of the access code, no unnecessary waiting times, despite the still visible rush. It all depends on the time, from midday there is an increased influx, but everything runs smoothly within the Abbey. Gladly again.
